The arrogant Bull.
Before the modern machines were invented by using power to extract oil from the oil seeds, the work was manually done using bullocks or horses, turning the wheels of the oil mill and the oil was extracted.
Some time during those days a bull had earned the reputation of churning out more oil from oil mills around the country side.
The bull became famous and the news of it spread to many towns.
One reporter took keen interest in the story of the bull and decided to interview the bull.
He went to the oil mill where this bull was and after seeking all permissions, the reporter approached the bull.
The bull looked handsome with its shining body, perfect horns and the strength of a bull (sic). The bull was beaming with pride and stood arrogantly looking at the reporter.
The reporter asked the bull about its achievement.
The bull said in its arrogant voice that he was the best in the area and done better than any other bull in and around several square miles.
The reporter further asked apart from churning out oil what other things the bull had archived.
Again in its arrogant voice the bull answered that it had traversed 5000 miles in its life - more than any other bull.
The reporter further asked the bull, what did he see, learn and experience in this long journey of 5000 miles.
The bull looked a little puzzled and nodded and pointed it's head towards the oil mill and said 'to churn oil from the mill I have to keep circling around the mill and that is how he traveled a distance of 5000 miles' and spoke nothing further.
The reported while returning to his home town pondered this peculiar journey of the bull. He had traversed 5000 miles and had not seen anything other than oil mill, had no other experience to share and absolutely no knowledge about anything other than the oil mill and churning out the greatest quantity of oil in its life's journey.
Reading the bully's story, I too wonder, whether we should be circling thousand miles around in the same spot day in and day out and for years and churning out material wealth and nothing else. I believe, there is more to life than mere wealth and circling around the same spot - there is a huge world waiting for us to explore and discover and experience and share the joy of life and realize and enjoy the many facets of life!
