Once there was a proud and wealthy King who lived in a magnificent castle. He used up a lot of money which he collected from his people to further improve his castle with gold, diamonds and silk. There was nothing bad to say about the castle, the structure was precisely build and the cool landscape was made by great designers.
So the King decided to throw a party one day at his beautiful garden, situated at the centre of his castle. He invited people from the city to his party, where he intended to conduct a survey about his glorious castle in case his people noticed flaws at his palace. Nonetheless, he expected that everyone will say nothing less but only good things about his castle.
The day finally arrived and people from all the city came to his castle. At the moment from the superior gigantic entrance to the outstanding cute and elegant garden, the people were astonished with awe. They were absolutely mesmerized and keep on praising the castle and the structure as they walked in. The green landscape soothed their eyes and relaxed their mind, and the sculptures made from gold and silver stood proud around the garden, including the King himself.
After a moment he made his stand at the centre of the crowd and asked around, if someone among the guests noticed any flaws in his castle, but no one spoke, except for an old wise man named Reiichi. He exclaimed that the castle was imperfect as there were two flaws from which he noticed.
Upon hearing the old man's remark the King was furious. He told the guard to bring the man to him. Then he asked the man, "How dare you say that the castle is imperfect! Tell me at once those two things that make my castle imperfect."
The old man replied calmly, "No matter how much money you spend on this castle, or how beautiful it is, soon it will collapse, and the owner of the castle will die. Those are the things that make this castle imperfect."
very wise Reiichi :P
