സെന്റ് എഫ്രേം എച്ച്.എസ്സ് എസ്സ്. മാന്നാനം/അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം/ Be grateful always

Be grateful always A hunter once lost his wave deep under the jungle while chasing a deer. He used all his navigation skills but neither he did find any way out of the jungle nor could he find any food to eat for 3 days at a stretch. He lost all hope. He thought he will die out of hunger and that is exactly when an apple tree caught his sight. He was so happy. He collected 10-20 apples to feed him for rest of his stretch. As he ate the 1st apple, His joy knew no bounds and he just couldn't stop feeling grateful and blessed. He thank life and God. He was very happy. He could not believe his luck when he ate the 1st apple. But he was less grateful while having the 2nd and even lesser grateful when had the 5th apple. Somehow with each passing apple the  joy kept on reducing drastically. He just could not enjoy the 10th apple. He even started throwing apples.Which were not tasting good and started complaining. He had already taken for granted the gift of having found an apple tree in the middle of the forest after 3 days of wandering with hunger. So this taking things for granted. The 10 apples represents our lack of appreciation for gift of life. The hunter represents all of us and apple represent the gift that gave us.  The  10th apple is as sweet as the 1st apple, If the 10th apples fails to give you as much as the 1st one there is nothing wrong with the apple but with the person enjoying the fruit.  The reason to share the story is we were having  the 10th apple effect in the world for some time. Abundance of everything and we started complaining. We complained  about people, job, government, traffic, food,  whether..... Everything.    But during this lock down am sure that most of you started appreciating lot of things in life which we took for granted even small thing like, Oh! its so nice to talk to a human being or glad that we got vegetables today or thank God I am healthy and ate thing like that. We never had these thought 2 months back. The present situation is shaking us and showing us that we are dependent on something bigger than what we think and we having to be grateful for all the blessings. We started appreciating the luxury we lived in abundance of food, products, freedom... health, good old days. Now we are realising  that we were taking it to granted. Right no wall of us have two choice    Be grateful or Be  stressful and its a choice. ഗ്രിക്‌സൺ ജാക് ജേക്കബ് 10 ബി സെന്റ് എഫ്രേം എച്ച്.എസ്സ് എസ്സ്. മാന്നാനം കോട്ടയം വെസ്റ്റ് ഉപജില്ല കോട്ടയം അക്ഷരവൃക്ഷം പദ്ധതി, 2020 കഥ  സാങ്കേതിക പരിശോധന - Asokank തീയ്യതി: 17/ 04/ 2020 >> രചനാവിഭാഗം - കഥ
