VREDNOTE

Once upon a time a boy went to his father and asked ” father, please tell me the the worth of human life?”

The father smiled and gave him a shinning stone and said ” first go and find the worth of this stone”.

Go to different shops in the market and tell them that you want to sell this shinning stone but remember, don’t sell the stone in any case.

The boy got puzzled with his father reply but without saying anything.

He took the stone and went to the market.
First he went to an orange seller and asked him about the worth of the stone.

The orange seller took the stone in hand, looked at it and replied ” I will
Give you a dozen of oranges for this stone”

The boy took the stone back and went to a vegetable vendor and asked him the same question.

The vendor also took the stone in hand, looked at it and then said ” take a sack of potatoes and leave the shinning stone for me”

The boy was still not satisfied with all these answers, so he kept going on.

Goldsmith was amazed by the shinning stone and said ” sell me this stone for one lakh gold coins”.

The man was surprised to hear this offer but refused to sell.

The Goldsmith then got ready to pay him five lakh gold coins.

The boy said ” my father has told me not to sell this stone to anyone “

Finally, the boy went to diamond merchant and showed him the stone.

When the diamond merchant saw this beautiful and shinning stone he could not believe his eyes.

He was mesmerized by the beauty of the stone, the diamond merchant first laid a red velvet cloth and placed that stone on it and bowed before it.

Then he asked the boy ” where did you find this PRECIOUS STONE?”

Then he said to the boy, even after selling the whole world, we can’t estimate the worth of this ruby stone. This is priceless and invaluable.

The boy got puzzled with the variety of experiences he just had with different people and went straight to his father.Then narrated his story to his father and asked him ” father please tell me the worth of human life now ?”

The vegetable vendor said, a sack of potatoes.

Goldsmith said he valued the stone at 5000 gold coins.

Finally the diamond merchant said that the stone is invaluable.

The same is true for human life, in fact, you are a gem but people around you will value you according to their status, knowledge and capacity

But do not worry, as this world will also identify and know your true value one day.

If we see in our lives then will find that often people do not know their own worth and that’s why they settle for less than they deserve.
THE VALUE OF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU PLACE YOURSELF.
