6 Moral Stories You Must Read!

Stories that have morals and messages behind them are always very powerful. In fact, it’s actually quite crazy just how powerful a few hundred words can be.

1. An Old Man Lived in the Village

An old man lived in the village. The whole village was tired of him; he was always gloomy, he constantly complained and was always in a bad mood. The longer he lived, the viler he became and more poisonous were his words. People did their best to avoid him because his misfortune was contagious. He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.

But one day, when he turned eighty, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumor: “The old man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up.”

The whole village gathered around the man and asked him, “What happened to you?”

The old man replied, “Nothing special. Eighty years I’ve been chasing happiness and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.”

Moral of the story: Don’t chase happiness. Enjoy your life.

2. The Wise Man

People visit a wise man complaining about the same problems over and over again. One day, he decided to tell them a joke and they all roared with laughter.

After a few minutes, he told them the same joke and only a few of them smiled.

Then he told the same joke for a third time, but no one laughed or smiled anymore.

The wise man smiled and said: “You can’t laugh at the same joke over and over. So why are you always crying about the same problem?”

Moral of the story: Worrying won’t solve your problems, it’ll just waste your time and energy.

3. Having a Best Friend

Two friends were walking through the desert. At one stage in their journey, they had an argument and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything he wrote in the sand, “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to have a wash. The one who had been slapped got stuck in a mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After he had recovered from his shock, he wrote on a stone, “Today my best friend saved my life.”

The friend who slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write in stone, why?”

The other friend replied, “When someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

Moral of the story: Don’t value the things you have in your life. Value those who you have in your life.

4. The Greedy Lion

It was an incredibly hot day and a lion was feeling very hungry.

He crawled out of his den and searched here and there, but he could only find a small hare. He caught the hare, but with some hesitation as he knew the hare wouldn’t fill him up.

As the lion was about to kill the hare, he spotted a deer coming his way and thought, “Instead of eating this small hare, let me eat that big deer.”

So he let the hare go and went after the deer, but it vanished in the forest. The lion now had nothing to eat as the hare was also long gone.

Moral of the story: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

5. Two Friends and the Bear

Vijay and Raju were friends. One day while on holiday, exploring a forest, they saw a bear coming towards them.

Naturally, they were both frightened, so Raju, who knew how to climb trees, climbed one quickly. He didn’t spare a thought for his friend who had no idea how to climb.

Vijay thought for a moment. He had heard that animals don’t attack dead bodies, so he fell to the ground and held his breath. The bear sniffed him, thought he was dead, and went on its way.

Raju, after he had climbed down from the tree asked Vijay, “What did the bear whisper in your ears?”

Vijay replied, “The bear asked me to keep away from friends like you.”

Moral of the story: A friend in need is a friend indeed.

6. The Fox and the Grapes

One afternoon, a fox was walking through the forest and spotted a bunch of grapes hanging from a lofty branch.

“Just the thing to quench my thirst,” he thought.

Taking a couple of steps back, the fox jumped and just missed the hanging grapes. The fox tried again but still failed to reach them.

Finally, giving up, the fox turned his nose up and said, “They’re probably sour anyway,” and walked away.

Moral of the story: It’s easy to despise what you can't have.

Advice to handle family disputes out of my experience Astrovighnesh

1.  Don't encourage your son and his wife to stay under same roof with you.   Best to suggest them to move out, even to the extent of renting a house.  It's their problem to find a separate home.  More the distance between you and your children's families,  the better is the relationship with your in laws
 
2. Treat your son's wife as his wife, not as your own daughter, maybe just treat her as a friend. Your son would always be your Junior  but, if you think that his wife is of the same rank and if you ever scolded her, she would  remember it for life.

In real life, only her own mother and not you will be viewed as a person qualified to scold or correct her.

3.Whatever habits or characters your son's wife has is not your problem at all,  it is your  son's problem. It isn't  your problem as he is an adult already

4.Even when living together, make each others businesses clear, don't do their laundry, don't cook for them and don't baby sit their children. Unless, of course, there is a special request by your son's wife and you feel that you're capable and don't expect anything in return.
 

Most importantly, you shouldn't worry about your son's family problems.

Let them settle themselves.

5.Pretend to be blind and deaf when your son and his wife are quarrelling.   It's normal that the young couple do not like their parents to b involved in the dispute between husband and wife.

6. Your grandchildren totally belong to your son and his wife. However they want to raise their children,  it is up to them.  The credit or blame would be on them.

7. Your son's wife need not necessarily  respect and serve you. It is the son's duty.  You should have taught your son to be a better person so that you and your son's wife relationship could be better.

8. Do more planning for your own retirement, don't rely on your children to take care of  your retirement. You had already walked through most of your journey in life, there are still a lot of new things to learn through out the journey
It is your own interest that you enjoy your retirement years.  Better if you could utilise enjoy everything that you had saved before you die.  Don't let your wealth become worthless to you.

9. Grandchildren don't belong to your family, they're their parents precious gift.

The above message is not only for you, please share it with your friends,  parents, in-law, uncles, auntie, husband or wife to find peace progress in life.

	TenSigns That You MayHave aThyroid Problem Astrologer Vighnesh It is believed that up to 59 million people suffer from a thyroid problem in the USA alone, yet estimates suggest that up to 60% of sufferers are not even aware that they have an issue.  This is believed to be because the signs and symptoms are so common they are easily ignored, misdiagnosed or attributed to every day problems we all suffer from.  If you have a thyroid problem it can affect all parts of your wellbeing and it is important that you are aware of the symptoms so that you can ask your doctor to test your thyroid and discuss treatment options.
	What is the Thyroid? The thyroid is a small, butterfly shaped gland in the neck that is essential for regulating the body's metabolism, or the way that it produces energy.  Its role contributes to the effective functioning of a number of important organs, including the brain, liver, kidneys and skin.  It also affects critical functions of the body, such as energy levels and heart rate. Put simply, your body's overall health is hugely dependent on a healthy, functioning thyroid.  If there is something wrong, it can affect your emotional, physical and mental wellbeing in numerous ways.
	What Sort of Thyroid Problems Can Develop? Thyroid problems are very common in both men and women and include goiters, thyroid nodules, thyroiditis and thyroid cancer. However, the most common types of thyroid complaints are hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid, and hyperthyroidism, or an overactive thyroid. An underactive thyroid will make sufferers feel tired and slow, while an overactive thyroid causes feelings of restlessness, irritation and insomnia amongst other symptoms.
	So What Signs Should I Look You For? There are numerous indicators of an underlying thyroid problem.  Here is our list of ten signs you should look out for:
	1. Do You Feel Unusually Tired? Feelings of exhaustion and unexplained levels of fatigue are common indicators of a thyroid problem. If you feel tired even though you have had a good night's sleep, it could be a sign of a underactive thyroid. Alternatively, if you are suffering from an overactive thyroid, you may find it difficult to sleep at night and 'switch off', leaving you feeling tired and restless during the day.
	2. Have You Noticed a Sudden Change in Body Weight? Unexplained weight gain can be a sign of an underactive thyroid.  If you put on weight despite following a healthy living plan, it may indicate low levels of thyroid hormones. This can ensure the body is unable to 'burn' all the calories it consumes. On the other hand, if you find you are losing weight despite not having made any other lifestyle changes, it could indicate that you have an overactive thyroid which is producing more hormones than the body needs. This can also lead to a decreased appetite.
	3. Are You Feeling Depressed or Anxious? Are you experiencing depression, anxiety and panic attacks and can't explain why? These can also point to a thyroid problem. Depression is linked to an underactive thyroid, while feelings of anxiety and sudden panic are common consequences of an Overactive Thyroid. Depression and Anxiety can be caused by a number of factors and do not indicate a thyroid problem on their own, but you should look out for the signs.
	4. Have You Noticed a Change in Your Menstrual Cycle? Women often experience issues related to their menstrual pattern if they have a thyroid problem. More prolonged periods including heavier bleeding and greater pain are often signs of an underactive Thyroid. Alternatively, shorter, more infrequent periods with blood flow can be attributed to an overactive thyroid.
	5. Are You Experiencing Unexplained Hair Loss? Hair loss from the head as well as the eyebrows and other body parts can be a symptom of an underactive thyroid.  Hair may also feel dry, coarse and brittle. Thinning hair around the crown and a dry, flaky scalp can also be signs of an overactive thyroid.
	6. Are You Feeling Overly Hot or Cold? The thyroid contributes to the regulation of the body's temperature, so feelings of hot or cold which are not seemingly related to air temperature can be a sign of a problem. If you consistently have cold hands and feet or find yourself feeling chilly even when in a warm room, you could be suffering from an underactive thyroid. Alternatively, if you find yourself sweating excessively or unable to tolerate normal levels of heat, it could be that you have an overactive thyroid.
	7. Do You Have Discomfort in Your Throat? The thyroid is located in the neck, so direct pain can result from it swelling or becoming enlarged. An enflamed thyroid is called a goiter and can be caused by either an underactive thyroid or an overactive thyroid.  Other symptoms associated with the inflammation of the thyroid include a croaky or hoarse voice or an increase in snoring.
	8. Do You Have Problems Digesting Food? Digestive problems such as constipation, diarrhea or Irritable Bowel Syndrome may all relate to a badly functioning thyroid. The thyroid hormones directly impact bowel movements and inhibit the body's ability to process food and create waste. If you have a healthy diet but suffer from severe constipation, it could be linked to an underactive thyroid. Diarrhea and IBS, on the other hand, can point to an overactive thyroid.
	9. Is Your Skin Irritable? The hormones released by the thyroid gland directly control the functioning of the skin.  This means that skin complaints can often be attributed to underlying thyroid problems. If you have an underactive thyroid, your skin may change colour slightly, become drier and more scaly, and eczema can appear.   If you have an overactive thyroid, you tend to sweat more and your skin can become irritated and itchy.
	10. Do You Have Pain or Weakness In Your Muscles and Joints? If you have unexplained weakness in your arms and legs, or noticeable aches and pains in your muscles and joints, you could have an underlying thyroid problem. Cramps, stiffness and general joint pain in the arms and legs are all symptoms related to an underactive thyroid.  Muscle weakness, particularly in the thighs and upper arms are signs of an overactive thyroid.  If you find it difficult to climb the stairs, lift your arms over your head or hold your hand steady, you could have an underlying issue.
	See our Symptoms Checklist!
