Zen and the Complaining Students
A story about acceptance.
A student came to visit a blind Master, and asked: "Master, my fellow students are always complaining. The classes are boring, the homework is tiresome, the teachers are unfair — it seems that nothing makes them happy.
But you, you live with blindness, Master. And yet you never complain. How can that be?"
The Master smiled. “I could complain,” he said. “But then, would I not still be blind?”
At that moment, the student was Enlightened.
