Black Dot

A beautiful new white shirt - with a tiny black dot on it near the collar.

The first thing that one would say on seeing the shirt will be:
"That black dot has spoiled the shirt"

That is how most of us view life. One small imperfection is sufficient to make us eternally unhappy. We cling to a few imperfections and ignore all the beautiful things that we are blessed with.

We keep worrying about a few tiny black dots. Till we die.

Did nature design us to be worriers ?
Or is it nature's way to put a few imperfections in everyone's life so that the world is not full of 'ordinary' people ?
