Blessed Legs

Sheikh Sadi was a great religious preacher of Islam in Iran. He was very poor. Once he had no shoes to wear and no money to buy them. Without shoes, while walking, his feet used to burn and pebbles bruised his feet. He was always in discomfort.

One day he went to a mosque at Kufa for prayers and was, at the entrance, a man with both his legs amputated. When Sheikh Sadi pondered over that man's helplessness, his eyes opened.

He thanked God, "O God, how kind of you! You have kept my two legs safe!"

Moral of the story: We always look at what others have that we don't. We should look at what we have that others don't.
