I may still need you

Once upon a time, on a mountain lived a mighty lion. This lion was strong and courageous. One day, when the lion was sleeping in his den, a little mouse came out to play. The mouse saw the lion’s beautiful, beautiful mane. “Look at it shine! So bright, so brilliant!” the mouse thought. The moment the mouse looked at the lion’s mane, he could not take his eyes off it! Then, he set to nibbling the mane. He nibbled and nibbled, and took the broken mane hair to his little den. The mouse was happy with his job. Soon, the lion awoke. And when he saw his uneven mane, he became angry. He roared and roared! Who dared to do this?” the lion yelled in anger. “Whoever it was, will pay for this!”The lion, then, inspected his mane carefully. Though saddened and angry, he realized the uneven form of cutting was done by no other animal than a mouse. The lion then decided to go to a nearby village. “I will get some help. The mouse will surely pay,” the lion thought. Reaching the village, the lion looked for the mouse’s worst enemy. “A cat will take care of this situation in no time.” The lion found a cat and took the cat back to his cave. Once the cat was inside the cave, the lion instructed the cat to keep the mouse away from him. The lion fed the cat and made sure the cat was healthy. When the mouse saw the cat, he could not come out. “If I go now, I am sure to die,” the mouse thought. The mouse stayed hidden for several days. But hunger struck, the mouse finally ventured out. The moment the mouse came out, the cat picked it the mouse up and ate it. Once the mouse was dead, the lion had no use of the cat. So, he stopped feeding the cat. The cat grew weak and could not get up. One of her old friends saw her in this state and felt bad aft hearing what the lion did with her. The weak cat eventually passed away. Few months later another mouse did the same act. The lion thought of getting another cat from the village. But no cat was willing to serve him as all knew what he did with there friend in the past.

Reflect in life have u ever used someone and disconnected thinking u may not need help from the person any more but had to regret the decision. If you allow people to make more withdrawals than deposits in your life you will be out of balance and maybe even negative no when to close the account. Not everyone will appreciate what you do for them. You have to figure out who’s worth your kindness and who’s just taking advantage. There are only two ways of spreading light either be the candle or the mirror that reflects it Remember if u use people as stepping stones you are sure to lose ur balance The irony of life is When you’re nothing, people will ignore you but when you’re on top that’s when everybody swear they know you. What most people need to learn in life is how to love people and use things instead of using people and loving things. Lets go ahead in life and find kind people but if u can't find one lets become one and do our little bit of good wherever we can because it's these little bits of good when put together can change the world.
