One day, in a heavily crowded place, a young man was shouting at the crowd.
“People look at me, I have the most beautiful heart in the world.”
Many people looked at him and stunned to
see the beautiful heart in a perfect shape, no little flaw, which
looked quite amazing. Most of the people who saw his heart was
mesmerized by the beauty of his heart and praised him.
However, there came an old man and challenged the young man, “No my son, I have got the most beautiful heart in the world!”
The young man asked, “Show me your heart, then!”
The old man showed his heart to him. It
was very rough, uneven, and had scars all over the heart. Also, heart
is not in shape, appeared like bits and pieces joined together in
various colours. There were some rough edges, some part of the heart
were removed and filled with other pieces.
The heart of the old man simply looked like a various pieces of heart joined together and formed as a heart.
The young man started laughing at his
heart, “My dear old man, are you mad? See, my heart! How beautiful and
flawless it is. You can find even a bit of imperfection in my heart.
See, yours. It is full of scars, wounds and blemishes. How can you say
your heart is beautiful?”
“Dear boy, my heart is just so beautiful
as your heart is. Did you see the scars? Each scar represents the love I
shared with a person. I share a piece of heart with others when I
share love and in return I get a piece of heart, which I fix at the
place where I torn a piece!” said the old man.
The young man was shocked.
And the old man continued. “Since the
pieces of heart I shared were neither equal nor in the same shape or
size, my heart is full of uneven edges and bits and pieces.”
“My heart is not in shape because
sometimes I never get the love in return from those I gave it. So where
do you see the real beauty? Your heart which looks fresh and fuller
with no scars which indicates you never shared love with anybody. Did
you?”
The young man stood still and never spoke
a word. Tears rolled on his cheeks. He walked near to the old man,
teared a piece of his heart and gave the piece to the old man.
