The second story that stayed with me began with, “Shall I tell you about my cousin, whose palace is unfinished?” This story felt like a lesson about human desire and the difficulty of being satisfied. The man in the story had a successful life and a loving family, but he still searched for more and ended up making a choice he regretted. I saw the “unfinished palace” as a symbol of how we sometimes chase things that don’t really matter, thinking they’ll complete us. It made me think about how important it is to remember why we make certain decisions and what truly matters in life. If we stay grounded in our values and appreciate what we have, we can avoid unnecessary distractions and move closer to the life we want.
