here is a short but very wise parable about our every day live
A man has got into paradise.
He looks, and there all people go happy, joyful, open, benevolent. And everything is just like in an ordinary life. He walked around and liked this place very much.
And he says to the archangel:
- Can I see what hell is?
- Well, let's go, I'll show.
They come to hell. The person looks, and there seems to be at first glance everything just like in paradise: the same ordinary life, only people are all angry, offended, it is clear that they are bad here.
He asks the archangel:
- There is everything seems to be the same as in paradise! Why are they all so unhappy?
- Because they think that paradise is better.
Try to think how often do you think that somewhere is better and how this thought makes you sad and frustrating. There is no better than here and now. There is no other life than your own
In Russian
Попал человек в рай. Смотрит, а там все люди ходят счастливые, радостные, открытые, доброжелательные. А вокруг всё как в обычной жизни. Походил он, погулял, понравилось. И говорит архангелу:
— А можно посмотреть, что такое ад? Хоть одним глазком!
— Хорошо, пойдём, покажу.
Приходят они в ад. Человек смотрит, а там вроде бы на первый взгляд всё так же как в раю: та же обычная жизнь, только люди все злые, обиженные, видно, что плохо им тут. Он спрашивает у архангела:
— Тут же всё вроде так же, как и в раю! Почему они все такие недовольные?
— А потому что они думают, что в раю лучше.

Задумайтесь, как часто нам кажется что где-то там лучше и эта мысль делает нас слабее и заставляет жалеть о чем-то. Нет никакой лучшей жизни чем здесь и сейчас. Нет никакой другой жизни чем ваша собственная. Которую вы проживаете сейчас.

This parable is very deep. Unfortunately, many people are unhappy about this. We need to see our business

Yes, this is a wonderful parable. I want to follow the advice to live in the here and now. Discard envy and regret. But unfortunately, it's just thinking, but sometimes difficult to apply in life. It is not that at all. I'm very eager to follow this advice. But sometimes harmful worm still crawls at the thought. And it seems that somewhere there is a better place for me. And there's this bad aftertaste.Dissatisfaction.
