Sparrow and bag of
emotions

(I have taken this idea
from a Whatsapp posting and for gaining
fame and name , they have
omitted the name of the author. My thanks are due to the original unknown author )
In one city there
was a sprightly sparrow,
And it got bored
and approached the god ,
And asked him, “I have
nothing much to do,
So please suggest
me a hobby so that I am happy
God said, “I have allotted each of you sufficient work,
And so taking
another hobby will make
you suffer”
But when it insisted
afgain and again , God tied a bag
,
To it back and
told it to collect human emotions in that bag.”
The sparrow was very happy and whenever it saw any person,
Who is emotional, It collected that and put it in that bag.
It collected passion, anger , jealousy
, cruelty, Pride ,
Joy, sorrow, bias , Partiality , avarice and so on and on.
When it saw one
man become jealous and trying to,
Bring another person down, It would be happy to collect that,
When it saw a person become angry , the sparrow rushed there,
With great joy and
collected it and this hobby made him very active.
But one day , When
it got up in the morning, It found
it,
Very difficult to
fly and it called “Oh God, Oh God,
I am not able to
fly, please do help me and god rushed there,
And told the sparrow, That bag of yours is very heavy.”
God continued , “
throw away all the emotions that ,
You have collected
and then fly and be very
happy .”
The sparrow could not agree with God
and told him,
“Emotions are light and I do not think , things will
improve.”
God said, “My dear
little friend , try.” And sparrow
let off,
One jealousy and
one anger from its bag and it could feel,
That it could
fly and so it emptied completly its hobby bag.
And started
flying on its own with great
speed.
God said, “Your hobby is good but all that
you have collected,
Are negative
emotions which are bound
to pull you down,
And so never go anywhere
near these bad emotions,
But only collect
good emotions like joy , truth, sincerity and so on.”
God continued, “ you would have struggle very to
collect them,
But even sack full of emotions will never , ever pull you down.
Right from the days of my first creation , I used to tell
men about it,
But they were only after
heavy negative emotions and keep
on suffering.”
God concluded “ If only
once in a while they empty the bag like you.... ....”
