Story of the day| Before and after retirement| Storytelling

Описание: A retired police commissioner, who used to live in his official bungalow, now lived in his own house in the colony. He was very proud of his status.
Every evening he would go for a walk in the colony park, but he would not talk to anyone who came there, nor would he look at anyone. He would think:
“These people are not of my level!”

One day he was sitting on a bench, when an old man came and sat next to him and started chatting lightly.

But the commissioner paid no attention to what he said. He kept talking only about himself – how high his position was, how respected he was, and how important he was…
He said, “I live here because this is my own house!”

This went on for a few days. The old man just listened silently.

Finally, one day the old man started saying: “Listen, Commissioner! A bulb is important as long as it burns. But once the fuse blows, whether it is a 10-watt or a 100-watt bulb – all become equal. The bulb remains visible, but it does not give light.

"I have been living here for the last five years, but I have not told anyone till date that I have been a member of Parliament twice."

On hearing this, the Commissioner's face changed.

The old man continued:

"The Vermaji sitting on your right was the General Manager in the Railways. The Raoji sitting in front and talking while laughing – he was a Lieutenant General in the Army. And the man in white clothes sitting in the corner – he was the Chairman of the Space Research Organisation.

But none of them has ever told anyone this."

"I have only one thing: all of us here – including you – are fuse bulbs!

When the power goes out, the police commissioner and the police constable – all become the same!” “The rising sun and the setting sun – both are beautiful. But people only salute the rising sun. No one asks about the setting sun.
This is a fact that has to be accepted.”
“The positions, honors, authority that we live in – are not our real identity. They are all temporary. And if we consider this as life, then remember – one day it is all going to end.”
“In chess, the king, the queen, the rook, the knight, the pawn – they have importance only during the game. Once the game is over, they are all put in the same box.
Boxed!”
“Today is a peaceful day, be grateful for it. Pray that tomorrow will also pass peacefully.”

**“And finally...
No matter how many certificates, medals or awards we have received – at the end of life, we get only one certificate…
And that is it.
"'Death certificate!'"
