Watch it, its a very touching story !
“…we are not much different in fact to many other forms of animal life;
and it is because of subtle human conditioning
– not the actual facts –
that we are raised to believe there is a wide gap between
what is human and what is animal.”
–Gareth Patterson, Last of the Free (1994)
Moral: “Life is short, don’t waste time worrying about what people think of you. Hold on to the ones that care, in the end they will be the only ones there.”
This line of thinking is neither good nor bad. I know some men who think like this. Also, I am not being gender biased. However, I would like to know your thoughts. I personally would not like to be the guy above. I come home after being detained by my boss who is pouring out his woes to me while I fidget around waiting to go home. And when I come home for some understanding and love, I am yelled at by my partner when I step through the door. Sigh ! C’est la vie…
Question – How will you handle this situation ?
” Million reasons to smile “
There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint
the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all
the pictures. But there were only two he really liked, and he had to
choose between them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for
peacefully towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky
with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a
perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare.
Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning
played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This
did not look peaceful at all. But when the king looked closely, he saw
behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the
bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush
of angry water, sat the mother bird on the nest–in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize ? The king chose the second
picture . Do you know why ?
” Because ,” explained the king , ” peace does not mean to be in a
place where there is no noise , trouble , or hard work. Peace means to
be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart.
That is the real meaning of peace .”
” When Life gives you a thousand reasons to cry, Show that you have a
million reasons to smile .”
