REFLECTION: The effect 99
Once upon a time, a king went in search on the happiness. When he had all pleasures at your disposal, because of his wealth, always felt himself empty and never was satisfied with he had. He was such a unhappy man, that he admired one of his servants poorer who radiated sincere happiness and joy for the life.
Motivated for all of the above reasons, he went to talk to the wise man of the kingdom to ask his advise:
-"How is it possible that one of my servants, who is poorer than me, is happiner than me?
The wise man had a break and answered:
-"I need that you understand the effect 99 in order to I´m be able to explain you the raison of your unhappiness and the unhappiness of the rest of the people.
-"And... what do you mean?"- the king asked.
-"You must get a sack with 99 gold coins. When you get them, you must come here and I will explain you" - the wise man answered. So, he did it.
When the king got it, went to see him. Then, the wise man said to the king that he spied on him until his house.
When the servant came in your house, the wise man put the sack with the 99 coin at the door of his house. Next, he knocked and ran to hide by the king. When the servant went out, saw the sack, collected it and came in again to his house. The king and the wise man went on spying him from the window.
.
Then, the servant opened the sack. He was astonished and pleased with its contents. He started to count quickly all the coins. When he finished, scrathed his head intrigued and started again to count the coins because he supposed that one lacked to complete the 100 coins.
When the servant finished the second re-counting, got exasperated and started to look for below the table without no sign of this lost coin, so he started to distress himself.
Then, the wise man said to the king:
Then, the wise man said to the king:
The happiness of the human being consists of it.
-"Do you realise? This is exactly what I wanted to say to you with the effect 99. The servant, as you, doesn´t value the most of his possessions or blessings any more. He only pays atention to the minor details which he thinks are neccessary for him.
