Once, there was a man who had nearly lost all hope in life. He had no energy left, living in a dark, messy, dirty, and smelly house. His family was gone, and he always saw things negatively. He often said that poverty was his only luck and the reason for his sadness, that it was all he would ever know.

One day, a wise man took pity on him and gave him a flower vase. The wise man told him, "Take care of this vase, for it will change your life." At first, the man didn’t believe him, but he took the vase home anyway. He thought about selling it, but something held him back, so he just placed it on a table. With nothing else to do, he sat and admired it, noticing how beautiful the vase looked.

Suddenly, he felt inspired to fill it with flowers. He picked some wildflowers and arranged them in the vase, and it looked even more beautiful. But now he noticed that the cobwebs on the walls and the darkness and dirt in his house didn’t match the beauty of the vase and flowers. So, he cleaned his house, threw away the trash, and let in some light. Only then did he realize that his house could actually be beautiful; all it needed was some care.

This small act led him to put more effort into his surroundings. He started working harder, improving his home, and eventually, he began improving his life. He realized that, despite all the difficult things he had been through, his life could still be good if he took care of it.

Brothers and sisters, let me tell you, this vase represents love in our lives. Let’s never take love out of our hearts. Let’s remember why we do the things we do in life, and even when times are hard, let’s ask ourselves, ‘Is this worth it?’ If it’s important because we do it for our loved ones or family, let’s keep going, no matter how difficult it may be.
