Let me tell you a wonderful story I read somewhere. It is interestin­g. Two friends in a school had crazy idea. They left 3 goats loose in the school on Sunday .they rounded up three goats from neighbourh­ood and painted numbers 1, 2 and 3 on their sides and let the goat loose inside the school building.The next morning as everybody arrived they could smell and see goat droppings in the school. They could found goats with no. 1, 2 and 4. They searched for no. 3 goat which of course was never found, simply because it never existed. The third number goat which never existed in number could not found and the goat which had no. 4 was actually the third goat in a row. Those of you, who have good life in spite of having many blessing, are actually looking for the elusive, missing, non- existent goat no. 3. Absence is longer than life It is human nature to think and crave more for a thing or person which is absent. We like to live in past or future more than present. An absence of something is always longer than presence of many things. What is in the hands is what you have. Let us first feel the joy of what we have, the job we have, money or things we have, relationsh­ips we have. Everybody always have something, there is always some way, some opportunit­ies ahead. We should work on our present resources. We should first try to work on our self, Make our own self better and worthy, take good care of our self, family and make our relations better. When we cannot get something on straight in life, instead of becoming depressed isn’t better to be happy in what we can enjoy with our present situations. After all happiness is related to state of mind, if one is not happy or worried, even the best of environmen­t cannot change his mental state so materialis­tic things are means, instrument­s to achieve something not the goal. No. 3 goat: Let us not just sit and cry and depress our self in search of third goat; be content and work hard. Life would be so much happier without the worries. Let’s not imagine on non-existent things and jeopardise the existence. Whatever happens doesn’t lose hold of two main ropes of life, hope and faith. It is not in hands to enjoy the night of star and moon or crave for cruise.
