Who is Happy?
A Crow lived in the Forest and was absolutely satisfied in life.
But one day he saw a swan…
This swan is so white and I am so black… crow thought.
This swan must be the happiest bird in the world.
He expressed his thoughts to the swan
“Actually,” the swan replied,
“I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two colors.
I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation.”
The Crow then approached the parrot.
The parrot explained,
“I lived a very happy life-until I saw a peacock.
I have only two colors, but the peacock has multiple colors.”
The Crow the visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him.
After the people had left,
The Crow approached the Peacock.
Dear Peacock, you are so beautiful. Everyday thousands of people come to see you.
When people see me, they immediately shoo me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet.
The peacock replied,
I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo.
I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage.
So far past few days I have been thinking that if I were a Crow, I could happily roam everywhere.
That’s our problem too.
We make unnecessary comparison with others and become sad.
We don’t value what God has given us. This all lead to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.

IF Human being get the quality of Qeenat , He will be very Shukrguzar (always thanks to God ) , It is a big quality but this quality have very less person
When we are like the crow, we need to realize what gifts we do have and not worry about others who may seem to have more. I hope the crow learned to be happy after his trip to the zoo.

Excelletn point of view ....we need to see the hapiness inside us !!!!
I am fully agreed with Elf Noor. Yes we should be thankful always to Allah for His blessing uposn us, He never gives pain which is beyond the tolerance of a man.
we should pay Thanks to ALLAH for each and every things which we have. All these things which we have is just suited with us.
"we always feel that life of others is better then us..
but we always forget that we are also others for someone else"
