Attracted by the sight and light on the other side of the window, the fly desparately wants to go out and explore God's open spaces. But because it is a housefly and cannot think, it keeps singularly attempting to break through the glass pane and go out. Its battle continues till it drops dead on the window's ledge.
Alas! If only the housefly had turned around and looked at the open door it might have found a better, simpler and surer way to go out of the room.
This is how we humans also deal with problems in our life. We keep banging our heads against problems without stepping back and discovering a different way of solving them. Resultantly, the problems remain where they are and we end up being bruised and hurt__emotionally and spiritually.
On the other hand, if we treat every problem as an opportunity to learn and explore newer ways of solving them, we will last longer, really longer! Remember that whenever a window is closed, a door is always open in the vicinity.
Learnings:
1. If you wish to solve a problem, you must realize that you must change the mind that caused or created the problem in the first place
2. A closed window always indicates a door is open nearby
3. God gives us problems so that we can gain from the experience of solving them!
