A group of working adults got together to visit their University lecturer.
The lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned intocomplaints about stress in work and life.
The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment ofcups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain lookingand some looked rather expensive and exquisite.The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.
When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up,leaving behind the plain and cheap ones.
While it is normal that you onlywant the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems andstress.
What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciouslywent for the better cups.""Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position insociety are the cups.
They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but thequality of Life doesn't change.""If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to enjoy/taste thewater in it."
