Four types of Persons



story

On one incident bhagvan Buddha was passing through a village.After traveling long distance through jungle Buddha decided to take a bit rest.Buddha was taking rest under the shadow of a tree,then this news spread into the village.One of man of village was so much curious about Buddha.He was good by nature but he was confused about certain questions about life .He always wanted to be a good person but he always felt he did not know "what is the way to be a good exactly".
Without losing a moment,he started to find the place where Buddha was arrived.He certainly found the Buddha and asked Buddha for his precious time.Buddha without hesitation asked about him.
The person asked Buddha, "who is the best person in the world? and what should one has to do to be a good person". Buddha smiled and without any late ,Buddha replied to him,There are four types of persons in this world.He categories these persons into four types.
The person who don't live for self nor for others:Some people are so unhappy that they don't live for good purpose.They are just living because they have life.They don't take interest in worldly happenings.They don't want to do useful deeds for self nor for others.This kind of persons are not different from non living things which don't affect the lives of anyone.
The person who live for others but not for self:Some people are very strange,they think that if they are living for others and neglecting the self then they are the happiest but in actual case ,they do not find any kind of joy or pleasure in their life.They are not on right path either.They are always unhappy in blind faith that they are doing the great things.
The person who live for self but not for others:Some persons are so much selfish,they don't care anyone for self wish and interest.They even don't care about their responsibilities nor they feel bad for their wrong deeds.This type of persons will always judge others but never think about their own responsible behavior.Though this people living for self only,neglecting responsibilities never bring happiness to them.
The person who live for self and for others as well:Some people are happiest and have meaning in there life.They are also keen to bring happiness for self but also help others too..This persons never do things which will harm others or self.This kind of people are always busy in some constructive and meaningful work.They complete their duties and responsibilities responsibly and they are happiest persons of the world and this is the best way to live life.




Buddha further told that there is no good in "neglecting self for others nor 'neglecting others for self".This life is for meaningful purpose one can not achieve supreme wisdom by neglecting self either.the forth mentioned way is the great way of life to live with!!
