The Pain And The Taste of Life (Inspiring Story)

An experienced and wise man grew tired of his apprentice always complaining. One morning he sent his apprentice for some salt.

When the apprentice returned the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water and drink it.

How does it taste? the master asked "Bitter" spit the apprentice
The master chuckled and then asked the young man to put a handful of  salt in the lake nearby. The two walked to the lake nearby After the apprentice swirled his handful of salt into the water, the old man then said "now drink from the lake" 
As the water dripped from the man's chin, the master asked, "now how does it taste"?
"Fresh and Sweet" Remarked the apprentice
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the master
 No" said the young man
At this the master sat besides the young man who so reminded him of himself at one time, and held his hands
He told the young man, "The pain of life is pure salt, no more no less".
The amount of pain in life, remains exactly the same. However the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put it in. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of things.....
So stop being a glass, become a lake
