ToggleHow can we pass through the narrowness of this world – Read this interesting story to get the way!
A company organized a fun trip for its employees, on the way, they came across a tunnel that the bus driver used to pass under, with a height of three meters written on it.
The driver did not stop because the bus was also three meters high.
But the surprise this time was great, as the bus rubbed against the roof of the tunnel and got stuck in the middle of it, which caused the employees to be in a state of fear and panic.
The bus driver asked: Every year I cross the tunnel without any problem, so what happened this time?
A man from the crowd answered: The road has been paved again, so the street level has risen slightly.
Few men available there, tried to help by tying the bus to their car to pull it out, but every time the rope broke due to the much load.
Some suggested bringing a stronger vehicle to pull the bus, and some suggested digging and breaking the asphalt layer.
In the midst of these various proposals, which seemed difficult and useless, one of the newly appointed intern got off the bus to say: I have the solution!
Perhaps if we remove a little bit of air from its tires, it will start descending from the roof of the tunnel and we will cross safely.
Everyone was amazed by his wonderful idea full of honesty and faith. Indeed, the air pressure was reduced from the bus tires until it fell below the level of the tunnel ceiling and everyone passed safely.
Takeaway
This story is a metaphor for the way that our own ego and negative emotions can hold us back and create problems for us. Just like the bus got stuck in the tunnel because it was too tall, we can get stuck in our own lives and struggles because we are too full of pride, arrogance, hatred, selfishness, and greed.
But just as the intern in the story had a simple and effective solution to the problem of the stuck bus, we too can find solutions to our own problems by letting go of these negative emotions and becoming more humble, compassionate, and understanding.
This is a reminder that the source of our problems often lies within ourselves, and that by letting go of our ego and negative emotions, we can free ourselves from these obstacles and find a way forward. The story also reminds us of the value of listening to others and considering different perspectives, as the child’s solution was not something that the adults had considered.
