Perhaps time leads us to happiness? Let's listen to this story…
He was an upright and sincere man who was seeking the path to happiness, seeking the path to truth. One day, he went to see a venerable master whom he had been assured could point him in the right direction. The master welcomed him kindly in front of his tent and, after serving him a drink, revealed the long-awaited route: “It is far from here, certainly, but you cannot go wrong: in the heart of the village I described to you, you will find three shops. There, the secret of happiness and truth will be revealed to you.”
The road was long. The seeker of the absolute crossed many passes and rivers. Until he came into view of the village whose heart told him very strongly: “This is the place! Yes, this is it!” Alas! In each of the three shops, he found as merchandise only rolls of wire in one, pieces of wood in another, and scattered metal parts in the third. Weary and discouraged, he left the village to find some rest in a nearby clearing.
Night had just fallen. The moon filled the clearing with a soft light. Then, all at once, a sublime melody was heard. From which instrument did it come? He sprang to his feet and advanced toward the musician. Then, to his astonishment, he discovered that the instrument was a lyre made of pieces of wood, metal parts, and steel wires that he had just seen for sale in the three shops in the village.
At that moment, he understood that happiness is made up of the synthesis of everything already given to us, but that our task is to assemble all these elements in harmony.
