[arizona_humor] crack pots

An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots,each hung on the ends of
a pole which she carried across her neck.
One of the pots had a 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 woman bringing home only one
and a half pots of water.
    Of course, the perfect pot was proud
of its accomplishments.
But the poor
cracked pot was ashamed of its own
imperfection, and miserable that it
could only do half of what
it had been made to do.
    After 2 years of what it perceived to be
bitter failure, it spoke
to the woman one day by the stream.
"I am ashamed of myself, because this
crack in my side causes water to leak out
all the way back to your house."
    The old woman smiled,
"Did you notice that there are flowers on
your side of the path,
but not on the other pot's side?
That's because I have
always known about your flaw,
so I planted flower seeds on your side
of the path, and
every day while we walk back,
you water 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."
    Each of us has our own unique flaw.
so 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.
    To all of my crackpot friends,
have a great day and remember to smell
the flowers...
