The Long Fuse - Why The Buddha Never Took Aspirin Thejendra B S

'Hey, are you suffering from any disorders?''Hmm, I don't think so.''Are you sure?''Yes, I am sure.''Then why were you in a lousy mood yesterday and gulping down those aspirins?''Oh, yesterday was real bad.''Why was it bad?''Well, I had slogged and burnt the midnight oil to help my client, and guess what happened?''I am not good at guessing. Tell me.''Well, I didn't get any appreciation for the hard work I did. Not even a simple thank you. And the client even had the nerve to find some silly faults and shout at me. I was extremely disappointed at his behavior. That's why I was in a bad mood.''Aha, I knew it! You are suffering from a disorder.''Hey, what disorder are you talking about? Is it wrong to expect some thanks for what I did?''Yes, it is wrong.''Now, come on! Don't be silly. It is natural for everyone to expect some appreciation for their work, or to get angry when insulted. You know everybody wears a hat that says - make me feel special.''Hmm, no wonder you look stressed and exhausted wearing that heavy hat. Just throw it away and you will soon become taller, lighter and vibrant.''Huh?'
