Something I'd like to share

I belong to a site to do with one of my interests. I was on it last night and came across a story that another member had put in a blog. I'm not saying it word for word mainly because I can't remember it word for word but I will give the basic story from what I understood. Here goes;

A group of former students attended a reunion at their former professor's house. The conversation centred around what they had been doing since they had last seen each other. There were complaints about things that had gone wrong in their lives, some appeared to be jealous of how well others were doing in their lives, the usual petty jealousies and grumbles. Whilst all this was going on the professor went into the kitchen and came back with a pot of coffee and an assortment of mugs ranging from the expensive beautiful kind to the cheap and not so beautiful kind. He told the students to help themselves. When they had done this he looked at them and noticed that they had all chosen the expensive, beautiful mugs and were looking to see if any of their fellow former students had chosen a more beautiful, expensive one than they had. He then went on to comment on their choice by saying that they had all wanted the same thing a cup of coffee which was of the same quality in each and every mug but they had each chosen different mugs and mugs of the expensive kind leaving the cheap ones behind. He continued that whilst there is no harm in wanting the best for yourself at the end of the day the mug is only the thing that the coffee gets put into but it is the same in all of the mugs and that is what life is all about. Basically we all look different but we get out of life what we put into it. That's if I understood the story correctly.
