There was this museum laid with beautiful marble tiles,
with a huge marble statue displayed in the middle
of the lobby. Many people came from all over the world
just to admire this beautiful marble statue.
One night, the marble tiles started talking to
the marble statue. Marble tile: "Marble statue, it's just
not fair, it's just not fair! why does everybody from all over the
world come all the way here just to step on me while
admiring you? Not fair!".
Marble statue: "My dear friend, marble tile.
Do you still remember that we were actually from the same
cave?"
Marble tile: "Yeah! That's why I feel it is
even more unfair. We were born from the same cave and yet we
receive different treatment now. Not fair!" he cried
again.
Marble statue: "Then, do you still remember the
day when the designer tried to work on you, but you
resisted the tools?"
Marble tile: "Yes, of course I remember. I
hate that guy! How could he use those tools on me, it hurt so
badly.".
Marble statue: "That's right! He couldn't work
on you at all as you resisted being worked on."
Marble tile: "So???"
Marble statue: "When he decided to give up on
you and start working on me instead, I knew at once that I would be
something different after his efforts. I did not resist
his tools, instead I bore all the painful tools he used on me.."
Marble tile: "Mmmmmm......."
Marble statue: "My friend, there is a price to
everything in life. Since you decided to give up half way,
you can't blame anybody who steps on you now."
