Pointing Others Mistake



Once a Master was sitting with his four Disciples and was them teaching a lesson.


After he completed that lesson he said to his disciples, “All four of you should learn this lesson yourself and remember that no one should speak until come back. I will come back after an hour and then we will discuss about this lesson.”


After saying this master left. All disciples sitting there started to read and learn that lesson.


After a while sky got cloudy and it looked like it will start to rain.


Seeing this one of the disciple said, “It seems like it is going to rain today.”


Listening to him second disciple responded and said, “You shouldn’t have said anything as master has asked us to stay silent till he come back and now you have disobeyed him.”


Third disciple said to second one, “See, now even you are speaking..!”


Those three disciples spoke in master’s absence but fourth disciple still didn’t said anything and silently kept studying that lesson.


After an hour master came back.


As soon as disciples saw master, pointing toward second disciple first one complained, “Master, he spoke in you absence.”


Second one said, “So what?? even you didn’t kept quiet..”


Third said, “Master, they both disobeyed you..”


Just then first one said, “Who are you to say so? Even you spoke in master absence at that time..”


Seeing this master said, “It means all three of you spoke in my absence. Only one who obey me was fourth disciple and he was the only one to follow my instructions properly. Surely he will become a better person in future..


But i am not sure about three for you. You all disobeyed me just to complain about other one and just because of this you didn’t realized you own mistake..”


After listening to master those three disciples felt very shameful about their act and accepted their mistake. They asked for forgiveness and promised to never repeat that mistake.


Moral: This happen with most of us, We focus so much on point out other people mistake that we don’t realized that we ourselves are doing same mistake. 


For peaceful mind and happy self, instead of pointing out others mistake we should look for our own mistake and correct that mistake.

Ibo Landing

  Near the mouth of Dunbar Creek on Georgia’s St Simons Island, there’s a section of swampy marshland known as “Ibo Landing” where some fishermen refuse to cast their lines. In the daytime, it doesn’t look any different from the other vast marshes stretching across Georgia’s coastal islands. Elongated white herons call to one another over the endless plain of reeds and mosquito infested marsh grasses. Fiddler crabs scurry across the sands. Unseen creatures plop into the black waters. St Simons Island, Georgia near Ibo Landing But when night falls, it is said that one can hear a different sound entirely. Swamps are known to make strange sounds at night. But if you listen closely, you may hear what sounds like the faint rattling of chains drifting across the marsh, followed by an eerie chant: “The water brought us the water will take us away.” If you think your ears are deceiving you, think again. For the old timers in the area will tell you what you’re hearing is the brave warrior O...

Mud: Tennessee Ghost Story

  Tennessee ghost story of a killer who encounters a strange old man along a dark road after burying his victim. What does this old man know about his crime? Find out in this short story by Andy Hinton. Although the walk should have been easier without the load, the adrenaline and whisky that had fuelled Jason earlier in the night is exhausted, and what energy remains is being used to shiver himself warm. As a result, it takes him half an hour to get back to the car. But time is relative, for what is half an hour in a night that never ends. Jason leans the shovel against the trunk and reaches into his right pocket for the keys; finding none, he goes to his left pocket and digs deeper. Then he runs both hands through all his pockets and rechecks them again. “Damn it.” Jason kicks the car, but the sound is muffled by the storm. He is angry enough, cold and worn out enough, to break a window, but he knows he needs the keys to drive home if he is ever to be done with this dreadful...

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

  Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported.  Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...
