Once, there was a king he arranged a contest among the best artists of his country and offered in heavy price for the artist, who would paint the best picture. The theme for painting competition was piece. Many artists participated and presented their ideas about peace on canvas. At last, contest was over. All paintings verb indicating peace to the utmost level, but there were only to the king really liked the most, and he had to choose between them.
Once picture was of a a calm lake. The lake was perfect mirror of peaceful towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with white clouds. Anyone who saw this picture thought it was perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell with flashing light. Down the side of the mountain there was tumbled a forming waterfall this did not look peaceful at all. But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a thin bush growing in a creak of the rock. In this bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water set the mother on her nest in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize?
The king chooses the second picture. Do you know why?
" Because " explained the king
" Peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is real meaning of peace."
Thus, the king like the second one and most between the two fascinating paintings and awarded the painter with heavy price as he had promised.
" Don't let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace."
