A Relationship

In a village, there was once an elder named Maya. People knew her for her wisdom and her ability to simplify the complexities of life.

One day Ravi, a villager burdened by the complexities of relationships approached Maya. He asked her "How can I figure out who genuinely cares for me?"

Maya smiled knowingly and shared a story. She said, "Imagine you have a pot, Ravi. This pot has a flaw—a hole that causes the water you pour into it to leak away. In life, this pot represents relationships that drain your energy without giving anything."

she continued thoughtfully "There are those who don't just ignore the hole but offer you a leak-free pot instead. These are the people who stand by your side during times and show their love and commitment, to your well-being."

Ravi's eyes widened as he grasped the meaning. He asked further "And what about joy?"

Maya chuckled warmly and replied, "Ah yes joy! Think of joy, as a celebration. The ones who truly care are those who not only help you fix the pot but also bring water to fill it up. They share in your happiness as if it were their own." As Ravi pondered over Maya's words he started to understand the beauty of connections. Since that moment he treasured relationships that brought love, support and shared joy into his life. He realized that these were the bonds nurturing in the intricate tapestry of existence.
