"Butterflies can't see their wings. They can't see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that as well!" - ANONYMOUS
As a kid, I was always fascinated by 2 amazing fables, each involving a different breed of DEER.
The REINDEER, with its long curvy horns was so proud of them that this obsession almost crossed narcissistic heights. But we know how the end came! Its horns got entangled in the low lying branches while trying to escape a hunter chasing it which ultimately led to its grim death! The slender legs which it had found embarrassing and worthless were the ones which had helped it run that far until its horns, the prized possession, led to its downfall and death!
The other story involves a MUSK DEER who kept running around vainly in search of the fragrance which was actually emanating from its own body!! The MUSK DEER dies without ever deciphering the mysterious place that gave off the fragrance- its own body!!
We too are either REINDEER or MUSK DEER in our lives! Either we give too much importance to the things we possess which are actually not valuable or like a MUSK DEER we are unable to find the real assets and qualities and keep searching vainly and wantonly while it actually lies within us, waiting, begging, imploring us to bring it out to on our 'talent list!'
Let us be a smart MUSK DEER and realize our strengths and once we find them let us refrain from becoming a REINDEER!!
And remember,"LIKE IN THE CASE OF REINDEER'S HORNS V/S LEGS, GOOD THINGS, GOOD PEOPLE MAY NOT APPEAR TO BE BEWITCHINGLY BEAUTIFUL ON THE OUTSIDE AS THE REAL BEAUTY, LIKE THE FRAGRANCE OF THE MUSK DEER LIES WITHIN!"
