Cats and happiness

I want to share my favorite parable.



One day an old cat met a young kitten. The kitten ran in a circle and tried to catch its tail.
The old cat stood and looked, and the young kitten kept spinning, falling, getting up and chasing the tail again.
“Why are you chasing your tail?” - asked the old cat.
- I was told - the kitten answered - that my tail is my happiness, so I'm trying to catch him.

The old cat smiled, as only old cats can do it and said:
- When I was young, I was also told that in my tail, my happiness. For many days I ran after my tail and tried to grab it.
I did not eat, did not drink, but only ran behind the tail. I fell exhausted, got up and again tried to catch my tail. At some point, I despaired and went.

Just went where they look. And you know what I suddenly noticed?
- What? - with astonishment asked the kitten.
“I noticed that wherever I went, my tail goes everywhere with me.”
