To become a pearl.

Suddenly, a tiny drop of water flowed out of the cloud and fell into the river. When he realized the breadth and depth of the river, he looked down on himself. He started thinking, “What is my competition with such a great river?? I’m worthless. What if I remain, what if I perish?”.

The drop was still humbly thinking that an oyster opened its mouth and took it inside and then nurtured it into a precious pearl.

Of course, he got this honor and status because he despised himself.

Messages:

• “Humility is an attribute that can take a person to the heights of morality and humanity.”
• “A strong wind can shatter a pine but doesn’t hurt the grass because it bends.”
