"Everyday adversities of life" in my Desirable Pearls - 12

The granddaughter visited her beloved grandmother.
You can see that she is stressed and unhappy with her life - nothing goes as it should.

Whenever it seems to her that one problem disappears, the next one appears again and again.
The granddaughter told the senior woman everything and she revealed that she was no longer strong.
Without a word, they went to the kitchen. The senior woman filled three pots with water and put them on the stove.
When the water began to boil, she put carrots in one dish, placed eggs in the other, and threw a grain of coffee into the third.
After 20 minutes, grandma turned off the stove.
Carrots and eggs pulled out onto the plates, and poured coffee into the cup. She turned to her granddaughter:
, "What you see?".

• "carrots, eggs and coffee" - she heard
• "touch the carrot, break the egg and take a sip of coffee" - the senior woman instructed.
  The granddaughter did everything she was told.
  She was surprised, however, why she should do it.
  Grandma said: "All three of these things have been subjected to the same adversity - boiling water.
  Carrots were hard and strong before being put in a pot, but after I put it in boiling water it became soft and weak.
  At first the egg was fragile. A thin shell protected the liquid interior, but when cooked in boiling water, its interior hardened.
  Coffee beans are unique. After putting in boiling water, it caused the water to change. "
• "And what do you love my dear? What are you? Carrots? Egg or coffee? "- Grandma asked
  Grandma began to think aloud: "Are you like a carrot that seems to be strong, but in pain and adversity it weakens, becomes soft and loses strength?"
  "Or maybe you are like an egg that has a soft interior, and under the influence of heat it harden?" Do you have a heart that after someone's death, failed relationship and other difficulties becomes hard and stiff? Are you different outside than inside?
  "Or maybe you are like a coffee bean? When the water becomes hotter, the taste is released? When things get worse and worse, are you better? Do you process the problem and go on? "
