Vanity
A little seed lay in the ground and soon began to sprout.
“Now, which of all the flowers around, Shall I,” it mused, “come out?”
The seed was heard saying, “I don’t care to be a rose. It has thorns.
I have no desire to be a lily. It’s too colorless.
And, I certainly wouldn’t want to be a violet. It’s too small and grows too close to the ground.”
The next verse explains the destiny of the fault-finding seed.
So it criticized each flower, that supercilious little seed
Until it awoke one summer day, to find itself a lowly weed!
Most of us are all too familiar with our faults – we don’t need others pointing them out. To make a real difference in the world, look for the hidden talent in others and offer them some positive input when you find it – it will be a growth experience for both of you!
