THE PURPOSE OF LIFE:
Mr. Whitehead continuously met with catastrophes. Somehow, he was bearing with these. One day he lost his patience. He let out a loud cry “Oh God Why do you send so many problems to me while others are so happy in this world. I want to drop all my problems at your place. Let me know where to meet you”. God agreed to meet him and accept his burdens. He went around to a large playground where even before his arrival so many persons were waiting with bundles of burdens, most of them bigger than his. Nevertheless, he waited for God to appear. Suddenly there was some commotion. Everybody rushed to meet God who just entered the playground. Everyone was pleading to God to take out his or her burdens. Mr. Whitehead was frightened by the size of the burdens of most people. He stood still. God came near to him and asked him, “Mr. Whitehead what are you doing? Have you not come to swap your bundle of problems? What prevents you now?” Still Mr. Whitehead was silent. He realized that every one had problems and most of them were bigger. After all, he was foolish to ask God to take his burdens. He said firmly,” Thank you God for your presence here. However, I have changed my mind after seeing so many persons with greater sorrows. Let me live with my problems. However God give me one boon”. God said “it’s Granted”. Mr. Whitehead said, “I shall not pray to God, Lord do not give me problems. However during my problematic days give me the courage and perseverance to bear with those problems”. Mr. Whitehead returned home wiser, saner, and sober.
