chanced upon a meaningful story.

There were 3 men walking a journey. Each of them had 2 sacks...one in front of them and one on their back.

The first man took all the regrets, hate, and all the negative emotions he experienced during his journey and tossed them into the sack on his back and never kept any of the positive things he encountered. He soon found it so difficult to keep on walking with the heavy burden on his back, dragging him more and more and making him struggle to keep balance...

The second man also put the negative things in the sack on his back but not as much as the first person. However this man also appreciate the little, little positive things in life, which he took, and put them in the sack in front of him. He realised that while the sack at his back is slowly getting heavier, the positive things in his front sack managed to counter the weight and keep him balanced, although he still finds it a tad diffcult to walk with all the weight...nevertheless, still much better than the first person...

The third person did the same thing as the second person...but he made a hole in the sack on his back. His journey was the smoothest because even though he filled his back sack with the negative heavy burden, they never really weigh him down as they slowly fell out of the hole in the sack along the way. With every negative burden dropped, he'd look back and appreciate the journey a little more.
