The Tale of the Cracked Pot

(Nobody's perfect, but our imperfections make us interesting)

A water bearer had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a pole which he

carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other

pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water.

At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the cracked pot

arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the

bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.

Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for

which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own

imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what

it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the

water bearer one day by the stream.

"I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. I have been able to

deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak

out all the way back to your house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all

of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.

The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on

your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I

have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds on your side

of the path, and every day while we walk back, you've watered them.

"For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate

the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this

beauty to grace the house."

Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws. We're all cracked pots. But it's

the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very

interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they

are, and look for the good in them.

Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. Remember

to appreciate all the different people in your life!

alternative moral...

if you have a flaw, make sure that there is someone smarter than you that can utilize your ability or lack of.
