Once a father and son were flying a kite. Soon, son's kite reached high up in the sky.
After a while, the son said, “Father, It seems that the thread is holding up a kite from flying higher, If we break it, It will be free and will go flying even higher" so he cut the thread from a roller. The kite started to go a little higher.
But then, slowly, the kite started to come down. The young son was surprised to see this. He asked his father, “Father, I thought that after cutting off the thread, the kite can freely fly higher. But why did it fall down?”
The Father explained, “Son, the life that we live in, we often think that some things we are tied with and they are preventing us from going further higher. The thread was not holding the kite from going higher, but it was helping it stay higher when the wind slowed down. And when we cut the thread, it fell down without the support you were providing to the kite through the thread”.
Moral:
Sometimes we feel that our family/home/responsibilities hold us back. But, we fail to realize that our family, our loved ones help us survive the tough time in our lives with their support and encourage us to reach higher heights. They are not holding us, but are supporting us. Never let go of them.
