Once Upon a Time, A Professor Serve a Cup of Tea to All Students |
A group of former students, highly established in their careers, came together to meet their former professor at the university. The conversation with the professor soon turned into grievances about work and life, while presenting Tea to his guests, the professor went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of tea and an assortment of cups like porcelain, plastic, glass, crystal, some less expensive, some expensive, some magnificent. All guests, I mean, students in that room are told by exquisite professors to help themselves for making the Tea, when all guests had taken a cup of tea in hand, the professor said: "If you look up closely, all the nice looking expensive cups, with full intention, are taken by the majority of yours, almost all of you, and staying leave behind the plain and cheap ones cups. So, do you know? What was the reason behind such an act toward having only expensive jar, by the way, such cups are not that we take in, but tea is an ingredient, which has to be intake by us? However, in this scenario, the quality of the tea supposed to be measure by the entire guest student, but it is the norms and one of the facts of life that, people firstly observe Overt Beauty (i.e. appearance or physical form of representing something) of nature then used to secondly experience covert (i.e. inner quality of tea and it’s color) Hence, it’s absolutely normal that you all want only the best for yourselves that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup itself doesn't add to the quality to the Tea and in some cases, even it’s actually hidden when we are absorbing any drink or something. On the contrary situation, what all of you all really wanted was Tea, a hot and tasty tea, but it’s a game of senses, (i.e. human five senses) those would confuse our mind as when we are ready to have a cup of tea then suddenly our eye sense is activated toward looking for something attractive that our eyes seeking for cups which is beautifully represent in front of you and would be precious appeal to your bright feeling sense, but not only the cups could give you full satisfaction, and here you are consciously went for the best-looking cups. Then, Students began eyeing each other's cups. Compassionately, Professor added that "Life is like a Cup of Tea", through this example professor direct relates to Jobs, Money, and Positions in our society is such a cup. They are just a symbolic to understand the game of life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the quality of life we live in. Such type of situation, while human senses will confuse our mind, also faced by some bachelor when they are looking for a girl or boy for marrying, Hence they are mostly attracted, and only by facial expression and outer beauty of someone, but you know it very well that it’s not enough at all. They are should be observed each other beyond the upper-looks. |
Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cups, we fail to enjoy the Tea in it.
