Buddhist Story: The Brick and the Fire. The Fire said to the Brick, "My friend, you shouldn't forget that the reason you're qualified to be a part of this towering building is largely due to my assistance." The Brick, feeling indignant, replied, "We haven't had any interaction at all. When did I ever receive your help?" The Fire chuckled and said, "Without my help, you would still be a mere lump of clay up to this day!" Words of Wisdom: Building a skyscraper is never an easy task. Even a single brick or tile must undergo countless trials and tribulations. It cannot be accomplished in a moment or by one's own strength alone.
