A wealthy man consulted many doctors for severe eye pain but found no relief. A monk told him to focus on the color green, so he had everything around him painted green. When the monk returned, the man's servants tried to paint him green as well. The monk laughed and said the man could have simply bought green glasses, saving money and paint. The story's message is that it is foolish to try and change the world; we should focus on changing our own vision and perspective first.

But if you read it right, a BIG eye-opener http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
There was a millionaire who was
bothered by severe eye pain.
He consulted many physicians for his
treatment. He did not stop consulting a galaxy of medical experts; he consumed loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections and therapies. http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
But the ache persisted with great
vigour than before. At last a monk who has supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire. http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
The monk understood his problem
and said that for sometime he should concentrate only on green colours and not to fall his eyes on any other colours. http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
The millionaire got together a group
of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted in green colour just as the monk had directed. http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
When the monk came to visit him
after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other colour and his eye ache would come back. http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
Hearing this monk laughed said "If
only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune. http://www.freewebs.com/reach-books
You cannot paint the world green!
