EVERY HORSE THINKS ITS OWN PACK THE HEAVIEST

Load carrying horses are concerned only with load it carries. It does not think about the load other horses carry. That is why it feels that it has got the heaviest load. Similarly, people also think that their sorrows are greater than others. Such people do not think or care about the work and sorrows of others.

Instead of complaining over their sorrows and work, if they try to understand the position others are in, their own sorrows will lessen automatically and their work will seem lighter. On the contrary, if they complain over their work and sorrow, it will increase and such people will become all the more unhappy. If we are afflicted by some painful diseases, we should remember that thefe are other people who suffer from more dreadful diseases. Such thought will automatically reduce our pain.
