In the famous epic Mahbharata the wise King Yudhisthira is asked a series of questions by Yamaraja,the Lord of Death.The most famous question was: 'What is the most wonderful thing in this world?'Yudhisthira replied,'Day after day there enter into the Temple of Death,countless lives.Looking at this spectacle,the rest of them,those who remain,believe themselves to be immortal.Can anything be more wonderful then this?'
Pride slays thanksgiving, but a humble mind is the soil out of which thanks naturally grow. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for he never thinks he gets as much as he deserves.
