Imperfections Don't Exist: The Lesson Of The Cracked Pot

Published Oct 3, 2023

Once upon a time, a water bearer in china had two large pots each hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried across his neck.

One of the pots had a crack 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 bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his house.

Ofcourse, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect for which it was made.

But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it one day spoke to the water bearer by the stream.

" I'm ashamed of myself because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."

But the bearer said to the pot:

"Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? 

That is because I have always know about your flaw. And I planted flower seeds on your side of the path. And everyday while we walk back, you have watered 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".

You see in life... in YOUR life!! Just like the cracked pots, unintentionally nurtured beautiful flowers.

Your uniqueness and your differences can lead you to unexpected and wonderful outcomes.

You should embrace your imperfection for you are unique, and you should live a unique life.

Find value in yourself and others and recognise that even your shortcomings can result in beauty and goodness.

"Imperfections are what makes the human perfect"

“You have to accept your imperfections and cherish it”

Throughout my life, I always felt insecure because of my imperfections. I thought people won't like me because I'm not a perfect person and I'm a clumsy person actually. Everything I do I always feel the pressure to do it correctly and in a perfect way. This made me stressed so much. But now I'm happily accepting my imperfections and leading a happy and healthy life. 

I hope you will do the same .

Thank you for reading this!!
