Words

Once upon a time an old man spread rumors that his neighbor was a thief. As a result, the young man was arrested. Days later the young man was proven innocent. After been released he sued the old man for wrongly accusing him. In court the old man told the Judge: 'They were just comments, didn't harm anyone..' The judge, before passing sentence on the case, told the old man: 'Write all the things you said about him on a piece of paper. Cut them up and on the way home, throw the pieces of paper out. Tomorrow, come back to hear the sentence.' The next day, the judge told the old man: 'Before receiving the sentence, you will have to go out and gather all the pieces of paper that you threw out yesterday.' The old man said: 'I can't do that! The wind spread them and I won't know where to find them.' The judge then replied: 'The same way, simple comments may destroy the honor of a man to such an extent that one is not able to fix it. If you can't speak well of someone, rather don't say anything. 'Let's all be masters of our mouths, so that we won't be slaves of our words.'

Work

By Kahlil Gibran --

 

If you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

Let it flow

Witter Bynner, inspired by Lao Tzu's 15th verse of Tao De Ching:

 

"How can a man's life keep its course IF he will not let it flow?

Those who flow as life flows know THEY need no other force:

They feel no wear, they feel no tear,

They need no mending, no repair."

 

 

Journey to Ixtlan

"Personal history must be constantly renewed by telling parents, relatives,and friends everything one does. On the other hand, for the warrior who has no personal history, no explanations are needed; nobody is angry or disillusioned with his acts.  And above all, no one pins him down with their thoughts and their expectations."

 

----- Journey to Ixltan, Carlos Castaneda

The Real thing

"My teaching is like finger pointing towards the moon.  Don't mistaken the finger for the moon." --- Buddha

Dancing in the rain

A blind girl hated herself because she was blind.

She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.

He was always there for her.

She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world,
I would marry you.'

One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her.

When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.

He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'

The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind..

The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her.

She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.

Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying:
'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, before they were yours, they were mine. '

This is how the human brain often works when our 'status changes'.

Only a very few remember what life was like before and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a Gift

Today before you say an unkind word -Think of someone who can't speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone who's crying out for a companion.

Today before you complain about life -
Think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you argue about your dirty house that someone didn't clean or
sweep -Think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive - Think of someone who must walk the same distance.

And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the
unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.

Before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another - Remember that not one of us is without error.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around.

 

 

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass... It's about learning to
                           dance in the rain.'

Have a fruitful day, my friends . . .
