I notice your happy face, which I think means you are talking tongue in cheek. So here is one of my favorite stories, which is probably historical, but I don't think it really matters if it's not. It the lesson it teaches that is important to me:

One day, Reb Zusha, a humble and saintly Hasidic master, was on his deathbed. His students gathered around him and were surprised to see him crying. They asked, “Reb Zusha, why are you crying? You have lived a righteous life. You were as wise as Moses and as kind as Abraham. Surely your place in the World to Come is secure.”

But Reb Zusha replied, “When I stand before the heavenly court, they will not ask me, ‘Zusha, why were you not like Moses?’ or ‘Why were you not like Abraham?’ They will ask me, ‘Zusha, why were you not Zusha?’ And I will have no answer."

This is a real story, it did happen.
I didnt make it up, if I did, I wont share with you, because it wouldnt be worth reading...

YS Shaw was a highly talented individual who lived 1000 years ago . He was so brilliant that he was once famous in the East.

YS Shaw took the Imperial Examination and won the highest degree in one fell swoop. It was a notoriously difficult one and many famous scholars of the past did not pass it until several attempts. For instance, 1 scholar passed it only at the 9th attempt when he was 60, and, another one passed the exam at an old age of 73. And now YS Shaw obtained the degree at the first attempt at a young age. Since then, YS Shaw became proud, thinking that he was a great talent.
However, YS Shaw, although so talented, had a troubled official career and was never promoted to a high position. Why? To find out the reason, please read on.

One day, YS Shaw took a pot of wine to the countryside to relax, and sat alone in a pavilion, drinking and composing poems. Suddenly it started to rain heavily, and an old man in purple clothes ran into the pavilion with a child to take shelter there. YS Shaw looked at the old man up and down and perceived him to be of lowly status, so he mocked the old man in an arrogant manner. After a while the rain stopped, and suddenly a team of carriages and horses came to the pavilion. The old man and the child boarded the carriage.

Immediately after that, YS Shaw asked people who the old man was. Somebody told YS Shaw that the old man was C Vaughan, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

Now when YS Shaw learned that the old man who just boarded the carriage was C Vaughan, he was very shocked. In the past, YS Shaw had sought Vaughan's audience again and again but his efforts proved fruitless. Now, a golden opportunity arrived at the door, but he had wasted it through his own arrogance.

The next day, YS Shaw wrote a long letter to apologize to C Vaughan for yesterday's presumption. C Vaughan asked the guards to take YS Shaw to the corridor. C Vaughan scolded YS Shaw: "Unfortunately, you and I are not related, otherwise I will definitely teach you a lesson. You become arrogant because of your talents. Do you think that winning the highest degree is the end?" After hearing what C Vaughan said, YS Shaw left in despair. Later, he only became a lowly official until his death.

I once owned two black cats called Poppy & Pip, we had to move house & the house we moved to was next to a very busy road, sadly Poppy & Pip got knocked over & so I buried them in the Garden.
The next day I arrived home too find Pip sitting upon his grave, as you can imagine I was in shock, I thought he'd come back to life
After a while I realized what must have happened, Pip must have some how tried to find his way back to to the old house & didn't quite make it so he came back home, I found out that the black cat we had buried belonged to the farm further down the road.
You can imagine my delight.

In the end I took Pip back to the old place where we used to live & luckily enough a kind neighbor took Pip in & looked after him where he found love peace until his dying day.

It was heartbreaking to part with him but I had no choice but to give him up.

Sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind.
