The Scarf And The Socks

Friends ,

Although both of them were made of cotton , but the scarf was proud that it was worn on the top , while the socks got a place in the foot of the “system” . Both were doing their job to protect the same body but the socks , even though being doubly on duty in pairs , still were not being regarded with respect by scarf . The scarf thought that its duty is much more superior than that of the socks as it was protecting the head of the system and was a symbol of respect and power.

They were both cotton products. As an originator ,the cotton tree was taken aback by the scarf's actions because socks were also very important to it.

Despite the fact that they were working towards the same system, it was lot more a matter of luck and opportunity that caused them to diverge into different products. In actuality, the tree respected the socks more because they were closer to the "feet" of the system, whilst the scarf was ecstatic about his destiny.

The scarf didn't grasp the value of being rooted to the ground like socks until one day when a strong wind completely blew it away from top to bottom on the dirty floor . From that day on, the scarf changed its behavior and began to appreciate the socks as well because it realized that they were just as important and equal as the scarf.

The human race is not really different than the above situation of the socks and the scarf. Respecting others' perspectives is crucial in both our professional and personal lives, no matter what we do or where we are, respect for each other’s journey and destiny is desired .

It is the responsibility of people who are privileged to constantly see those who are less fortunate as equally deserving in order to encourage them in attaining more. We are all human, after all, and we come from the same tree . We are all part of same system doing our duties .?
