A tragedy means always a man's struggle with that which is stronger than man.

FABLES OF AESOP

1.The good things and the bad things

The things brought by ill fortune, taking advantage of the feebleness of those brought by good fortune, pursued them closely. they went up to heaven and there asked zeus to tell them how they should behave with regard to men. zeus told them that they should present themselves to men not all together but only one at a time. and that is why the bad things, living near to men, assail them constantly, while the good things, who have to come down from the sky, only arrive at long intervals.

2. The man selling a holy statue

A man carved a wooden statue of the god hermes and carried it to the market to offer it for sale. but no buyer came along. so the man took it into his head to attract a buyer by crying out that he was selling a god who would provide both goods and profits. a passer by heard this and said to him: "Ha! Well, friend, if he is so beneficent, why are you selling him instead of making use of his help yourself?"
The merchant replied: "Oh, it isn't that. it is just that i need ready cash and the god is never in a hurry to render his services"

3. The eagle and the fox

An eagle and a fox, having become friends, decided to live near one another and be neighbours. they believed that this proximity would strengthen their friendship. so the eagle flew up and established herself on a very high branch of a tree, where she made her nest. and the fox, creeping about among the bushes which were at the foot of the same ree, made her den there, depositing her babies right beneath the eagle. But, one day when the fox was out looking for food, the eagle, who was very short of food too, swooped down to the bushes and took the fox cubs up to her nest and feasted on them with her own young. When the fox returned, she was less distressed at the death of her little ones than she was driven mad by frustration at the impossibility of ever effectively avenging herself. for she, a land animal could never hope to pursue a winged bird. she had no option but to content herself, in her powerlessness and feebleness, with cursing her enemy from afar. Now it was not long afterwards that the eagle did actually receive her punishment for her crime against her friend. some men were sacrificing a goat in the countryside and the eagle swooped down on the altar, carrying off some burning entrails, which she took up to her nest. a strong wind arose which blew the fire from the burning entrails into some old straw that was in the nest. the eaglets were singed and, as they were not yet able to fly, when they leaped from the nest they fell to the ground. the fox rushed up and devoured them all in front of the eagle's eyes.

Life advice

Some Very Good Advice
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. When in doubt, just take the next small step. 3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 5. Pay off your credit cards every month. 6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck. 9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile. 10. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 11. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 12. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about. 13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 14. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind. 15. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. 16. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 17. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else. 18. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer. 19. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. (OK – NOT you guys) Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special. 20. Over prepare, then go with the flow. 21. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple. 22. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 23. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?' 24. What other people think of you is none of your business. 25. Time heals almost everything. Give time time. 26. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 27. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does. 28. Believe in miracles. 29. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now. 30. Your children get only one childhood. 31. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 32. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere. 33. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back. 34. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 35. The best is yet to come.
