This Too Shall Pass

Once a person asked a wise man who was fully happy and content in his life, to write something on the wall such that if someone read it in happiness, it makes them sad and if someone read it in grief, it makes them happy. The wise man wrote, “This too shall pass."

Seeing this, the person asked the wise man that you've got everything in your life. Health, wealth, success, respect, love, everything. You're happy in your life. You're blessed with everything required for happiness. Then why do you think of such negative things?

The other man replied, “The wise remind themselves that ‘This too shall pass’ even when things are good; the foolish, only when things are bad.

Nothing is permanent.

Nothing lasts forever, neither your success nor your troubles. So be humble. Be nice to everyone."
