luSt

     The four letter word, as straight as a snake is lust. Love/luSt are unfortunately perceived/interpreted symmetrically. If the dictionary words should matter to seekers.. A word holds THE key to A  lock. The rest to be filled personally/collectively by experiences/lessons from variety of  exposures/circumstances. CUT-1/COPY-2/PASTE-3 are the words/numerals within our alphabets/numerals, do we pay royalty/homage, to it's  founders/contributor's, each time we use/apply them, within our day to day lives. The best gift, any child can aspire towards, in the long run, is the time spend with their creators....built on reasonable responsibilities/grounded trust, witnessed from their parents/groomers. The less fortunate, to be engaged and do what was acceptable and promote humanity as humanly as possible. How time unravels  the twins greed/lust is a customized taylor stitched story, which the soul cherishes as a blissful/tragic experience. LUST is it not then, how WE are .. 'Lured under SENSUAL tendencies'!

   Many STILL ignorantly understand/undertake the word lust/pleasure, in a manner a rooster/hen get's sensually indulged/attracted.. where the rooster is expected to chase/creatively attract the hen.  The CHOICES are thus, to be driven logically/humanly, within the encouraged/groomed, collective cultural attitudinal maturity, chosen/picked CONSCIOUSLY/RESPONSIBLY to the optimally prudent/just evolving ecosystem. The wise, equips themselves with the mantra to LEARN/UNLEARNS/RELEARN and continue the CYCLE of GIVE/TAKE to the constant TIME.. by, undertaking the prudence/diligence of not, trying to construct a kitchen within every room. The COLLECTIVE priority weighed on to the  CAUSES- reforming the economic venture of give and take, to time. / SYMPTOMS- health, security, sustainability.... will determine the nature of our mother NATURE / BEING at large.

  WE have a choice to be bitter/better from any evolving experiences/circumstances. Our glorious past/present, were and is STILL full of glorified gladiator wars - feuds /plunders-loots. The only difference then was, we fought each other/neighbors on a monthly/yearly basis ….which was a routine/normal acceptable  way of life, built around SOME ethics/norms….Its DYNAMICS have changed, by the colonial invaders, with industrialization/numerous revolutions of different kinds..  to what/where we have evolved out into today.

    The word lust is an abstract word, with potential, materializing physical attributes/forces.  As a personal human choice/encouraged culture, some prefer a transparent/opaque so called monogamous/polygamous relationship status....why? Is it to engage with life, within its totality,  reasonably/sustainably to encourage individuals draw once boundaries/desires on greed/possessions!

   The human rights/justice has the potential to be BETTER today, than from our FEUDAL past/present….Let’s NOT get our EGO/PRIDE win over a globalized/collective/collaborative society/economy as THEM/US….but as WE together..with PRUDENT humanism as the core guiding principle/venture with value driven spirits....then only OUR future possibilities, will become MEANINGfully infinitE

intermitTent

     Any offered tip, is just another tip of an iceberg to be explored. The management of self/life, is an art/discipline in and by itself. An emerging, popular health management discipline is intermittent fasting. Pasting within some mindful insights....if hunger is the first element of self discipline, within the trajectory of understanding the other elements of virtue.

engageMent

      Scattering/Scrambling some insights....within words/visuals, in this season of light/warmth....to encourage/manifest the insights of wisdom/truth. If reflecting on the basic underlying  foundation/platform of causes/symptoms is relevant, for any outlook/venture.. a basic question to ask should be, is my guiding/driving principles built on greed:lust / values:principles....to be derived/evolved out of ignorance/experience. The majority individuals/nations, if we observe/scrutinize closely to the symmetrical halves within our body, we will realize its driven by the driving force of theocracy:religion/corruption:greed.. under the holistic utopian banner of spirituality:values/freedom:democracy. To be magnified/illustrated for insight from this story....

'Once in a village, a woman saw three old man sitting outside her house. They were sitting there for a while. Woman went outside and said, “I saw that you are sitting here for long, you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat.”Men asked, “Is man of the house at home?”Woman replied, “No.”Men replied, “Then we cannot come in.”Woman went inside. In evening when her husband came, she told him about people sitting outside and all that what happened.Husband said her wife to go and ask those man to come in and have some food.Woman went out and said, “My husband is home. He is inviting you all. Please come inside and have food.”They replied, “We do not go inside a house together.”Woman questioned, “Why?”Then one of those old man explained.Pointing to one of his friends, he said – His name is Wealth If he goes with you, your home will be filled with wealth always. Then pointing to another old man he said – He is Success if he goes with you, your will always be successful in any endeavor you start. He introduced himself as Love If i go with you then your home will be filled with love always.Then he said, “Now, you go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”Woman went inside and told his husband about what that old man said. Her husband was overjoyed to listen about it and said, “Let’s invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth.”Wife disagreed and said, “No. Why don’t we invite Success?”Their daughter-in-law was listening to this. She came to them and suggested, “Wouldn’t it be better if we invite Love in our home. Then our home will be filled with love for ever.”Husband and wife agreed to her advice.Woman again went out and said, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”Love got up and started walking toward house. Just then other two also got up and started following him.Woman asked, “You said that not all can come together. I invited only Love. Why are you coming in?”Old men replied, “If you had invited Wealth or Success then other two have stayed outside but since you invite Love, Wherever he goes, we go with him.”Wherever there is Love, Wealth and Success will follow'.  It seems for many, relationships are like the neck/head one to be the neck and the other head. Is it really meant to be so, within its intended spirit?

Where is our engagement intellectually/mindfully allied towards, if.... Today is always a reflection of/from yesterday, the surface/pitch which is entertained/encouraged will be the playing field/platform for tomorrow. It's always a given choice, to negatively aggravate/constructively manage any evolving circumstance. Light is ultimately, a bi-product of internal combustion/sacrifices. The essential spirit of any venture lies submerged within its intended virtues. During an engagement gathering, of two blossoming minds, the invited priest mentioned few tips to the couples. First, give divinity/God priority. Secondly, dedicate sincere time for reflection/meditation.Thirdly, invest once time/talent/treasure to built and sustain a platform advocating virtues. Pasting within a commonly cherished/circulated story.."In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him. Do you know what I just heard about your friend? A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves. The three sieves? Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true? No, I just heard it. Very good! So, you don't know if it's true. We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?Oh, no! On the contrary. So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true? Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend? No, really. So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?"Gossip is a bad thing. In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!"     No matter what, irony of our human life is, many solutions for/of today will be a problem for tomorrow. Yesterdays right, is very often todays huddle/nay! Ultimately reminding us, to be unconditional/nonjudgemental within out outlook/ventures....which is the holy call of/by spirituality at largE

Ignorance

     Ignorance is a bliss, and to be aware is a personal/collective, understanding and undertaking to be ventured as a choice. Happened to read a paragraph...."One day, Rabia al-Ê¿Adawiyya al-Qaysiyya (Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anha) was seen running through the streets of Basra carrying a pot of fire in one hand and a bucket of water in the other. When asked what she was doing, she said, I want to put out the fires of Hell, and burn down the rewards of Paradise. They block the way to God. I do not want to worship from fear of punishment or for the promise of reward, but simply for the love of God."

Commented on a blog, when many enlightening organized sources/outlets, encourage uncontrolled, ignorant ways of life ....'Is it easier to manage an ignorant crowd or a few aspiring/aspirant team? It’s common sense, people will take risks/extreme sacrifices, when situations are desperate. Adrenalin drive increases, when situations gets tighter/challenging….it’s then a choice to pick/choose consciously. It’s tougher to remain stable and coherent consistently, and maintain quality over quantity, is my take. It’s easier for a person emotionally /materially, to handle a family of many, than a handful. Think over the statement? Where will excuses triumph better/sustain? When/Where/How, will quality triumph over quantity management?'Why then, talk of global warming/pollution/resources? It’s interesting to see/hear people preparing for life on other planets at the cost of their current circumstancial limited resources. Could understand when mortality/morbidity rates were higher, in the past centuries....interesting to witness this outlook/undertaking, within this 21st century. Should the attitude of mine way of life, triumph over your way of life? For instance, taking an organized spiritually driven institution....Why did Christ, then choose/pick to be born into a family of one, than as the 7th of 10 kids of Joseph and Mary? How many children did the first created male/female have?   Ignorantly/Innocently, people are encouraged to follow and learn ideologies/doctrines over the real spirit/lessons from their spiritual masters. Cos! spirituality has becomes a business/political/sport man ship venture, of pooling up more fans/members for x/y/z'.

EVERYONE IS CONCERNED ON/OF OUR PLANET EARTH.
The tale of X/Y/Z within the planet earth.
After much scientifically established observations/events X said the causes of global warming and instability are uncontrolled population / inflation-linked to lack of resources. BUT to maintain stability/sanity we have to keep populating and compete one step further ahead from our competitor Y.
While Y maintains its ideological stand, that they are targeted and hold on to its brilliant ignorant logics it has always maintained politically/socially.
While Z is suddenly enlightened to realize, it’s silence has being exploited and has become the underdog to X and Y, while it’s personal resources are being plundered under its nose by both X and Y.
Who is the looser/winner, if there is only one creator/sustainer to begin/end with. Should logic scatter apart, over 'conveniently' preferred/chosen ignorance. Should actions/deeds speak volumes to words/abstract hollow intents?

Conclusion: A family for 4 has 2 mangos to divide and share, but spiritually/politically today, it seems many are being encouraged to have minimum 4 children, to outsmart the competition from x,y,z. If some one slapped once, slap back 100 times, to prevent it from happening again. Asking/Posing within many questions to reflect/evolve upon....  What / Where is once evolving consciousness on once law/justice/legislative status? What does anatomically/physiologically, within our own body show/teaches us. How does all the variably segregated / colored organs and systems function/behave ? Does the week look down to pick a stone to throw at someone different or the strong look up to create awareness/respond purposefully  at/on time? Should one be conscious on maintaining the quality of once gathered harvest or be ignorantly promoting ignorancE

solutiOn

Do we still hold on to solutions, relevant to the 19th /20th century or have evolved into the practical opportunities/challenges of the 21st century? It seems the majority humans are still nostalgically addicted into the primate ways of live/ventures. To learn/unlearn/relearn is the only mantra for a constructive  change/progress both spiritually/socially. Majority of the decisions/statements made, even today seems to be on this line....my father walked 4 miles to school, so why can't you walk at least 2 miles today....when told to a generation which walks over 10 miles to keep themselves fit/motivated on a treadmill. How relevant is once vision/outlook today to the evolving dynamics of changes? Given an option no one would live in the past, but many try to ignorantly recreate the past into their present, for a meaningless future.

How many of us know/differentiate between evolving causes/manifesting symptoms? Is our collective focus on cause/symptom? Learning to differentiate between hard-sudden/soft-patient 'powers' is the key to the lock towards any understandings/undertakings....especially when dealing between a choice of leaderships/ideologies. For instance, authoritarian-rely on military/muscular powers to maintain its statuesque to democratic- which at heart is built on transparency/symbiotic relationships. 

Pasting within few insights on political-ideological/religious-spiritual path based perspectives. "If Russia, succeeded in exposing the venerable USA under the leadership of an elephant. The donkey today, exposed Russia today for its autocratic choice. It’s interesting to see many chickens, feeling safe under the watch of a fox. Ironically/hypocritically many hate the government systems/governance structure, but aspire to be running it by themselves. These open up thus, challenges/opportunity for more transparency/clarity, within an evolving dream called ‘democracy'. The larger question remains here? Does humanity prefer a charismatic leader/ value driven accountable structure/system? The later vanishes after the tenure of an individual, but the former sustains for the next generation to propel ahead meaningfully". " A question to the radically driven, deliberately encouraged/built ignorant platform/mindsets. If Allah/God is going to cover up woman on earth, like a letter/mail box.... in the name of/for their dignity/honor....what will be expected of the men who introduced/enforced it to their women once in heaven? If God/Allah is a male, is he so sensitive to a feminine body or it’s the believers, who are by nature/trained to be super sensitive/ignorant of female human anatomy/basic human rights, if all human beings are created by God/Allah in his own image? " What is the goal of spirituality, is it to create sanity/heaven while on earth or it's to please someone to once evolved perspectives/undertakings?"

Seriously, which century are many people living within 2022. To begin with the aware/educated/exposed. Is it not time to restructure/dissolve the UN? At present, one supersonic nation vetos, the scattered then patch up, with their own solutions/focus group. Why not begin with a 3 to 2 decision making formula, and include some more populated/deserving nations into the veto club, before buying more time, to get the opinion of the collective general assembly members ? Else the system feels/seems to be designed, to meet the aspirations of the affluent/powerful at the cost of the impoverished/deprived. Secondly, come up with a global economic platform of giving/taking....as we have evolved from the barter system, to the evolved fiat system of trust based platform, where we are into today. How many have evolved to 'differentiate between' an ass hole problem with a shit hole solution?

The basic, political choices are clear to pick from, and have a stand on to begin with. Not to be confused with the personal spiritual ventures/choices to pick a trainer/spiritual guru to enrich once soul/prepare self, into the next unforeseen dimension, after death, which it is all about. If our vision/mission is to establish/create a heaven, while alive physically within this dimension on our planet 'earth'. Does one prefer:
1) Democracy -evolving humanistic transparency
2) Autocracy - hidden shrouded secrecy
3) Dynasty - stagnent unquestioned loyalty
4) Theocracy - to blindly follow

We started as hunter/gatherer to have evolved into small tribes/groups, then we fought against natures obstacle/instinctive ego's, kept oneself busy then to please the universal omnipresent/omnipotent spirit called in different names. As we became larger/stronger in number, we scattered and established boundaries/ nations and established an opportunity, to fight against each other over once cultural identities/ vanities under the banner of kingdoms, guided by its theocratic values . With time to have evolved into sovereign nations, under the banner of ideologies/principles to be guided by elected representatives/cherry picked autocrats and we still find opportunities to fight and invade, by being different/smartly competitive from the other. The amalgamative mix, of all these three different ways of lives/lifestyles, coexisting together, can still be found scattered across our planet, within our different coordinates till date, to our evolving time.

Having read a note.... 'We have reached a point in human history, where the once imperial kingdoms, are condemning a superpower nations for invasion'. Commented....To me it’s common sense/human nature be patient/watch.... The west, desires to wipe out the communist ideologies and Putin will be their cause today, as its founding torchbearers Lenin/Stalin once did. The current nostalgically driven Russians, will have to hate its past principles /ideologies and Putin just pored the petrol, where the US/Europe simply ignited….but some one has to pay the price, it will be payed by the common people/ its marching armed forces in the frontline. Don’t worry in few years/decade, Russia will be a part of EU....and the competition will be then between the east and the west, to come up with a different geopolitical challenge/huddle to overcome.

When the ignorant  become grumpy/ disillusioned as of today, to stipulate why me to end up paying for the recurring price/cost. It’s like the lungs saying…. I am perfectly ok! it’s the heart creating problems. Not realizing/ignoring the symbiotic relationship principles/networking. For instance, Gas price when launched to humans was about 25 cents a gallon, equivalent to approximately 4$  today….and cars were not meant for all. So be patient, everything will eventually fall into place. When carrots don't stimulate, sticks take over per management theory. The underlying thing is always support/advocate for common binding guiding standards with  accountable laws/principles. Start with the ripple effect phenomenon, currently with the exposed/learned...by, learning first, to communicate with a 'kiss'-keeping it short simple.

To witness, isolating/separating the 'radically' theocratically driven/ ideologically propelled. As it happened, few decades ago when the Germans/Japanese driven by pride/ superiority complex, set out to invade nations, they had to be isolated/shamed and made to feel guilty for their understandings/undertakings. Still mushrooming back within many nations/nationalities, under the stewardship of many nationalistic banners driven by pride/hatred. Hoping/Praying that humanity/globalization with limited barriers, thrive in years to come with a mutually ventured symbiotic relationship.

One does not, have to live across the fence today in 2022, to feel secure/insecure. Within this era, of advanced warheads/technological advancements. Worth remembering, yesterday is not today/tomorrow. One can destroy/comfort, any one from anywhere today, is the evolved reality. Thus, when we know/realize, that a solution is a mixture of many blended ingredients, designed not to suspend down/clutter together with time....is the beginning of a prudent result/bright light to guide forward.

Very often, the quest into a meaningful solution, is more in line with this scenario, when summarized as the wise sage's parables worth reflecting over personal relationship maintenance/nation building..

"The man doesn't know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn't know that there is a stone pressing on the man.The woman thinks: "I am going to fall! and I can't climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can't the man use a little more strength and pull me up!"The man thinks: "I am in so much pain! Yet I'm still pulling you as much as I can! why don't you try and climb a little harder?!"The moral here is: You can't see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can't see the pain you're in. This is life, no matter whether it's with work, family, feelings, friends, family, you should try to understand each other, communicate with proper words, try changing your perspective, think of each other, and think of ways to resolve the problems".... Within our day to day, constantly evolving/transforming life style/choices.

"I am a survivor of a concentration camp. My eyes saw what no person should witness: gas chambers built by learned engineers. Children poisoned by educated physicians. Infants killed by trained nurses. Women and babies shot by high school and college graduates. So, I am suspicious of education. My request is this:  Help your children become human. Your efforts must never produce learned monsters, skilled psychopaths or educated Eichmanns. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are important only if they serve to make our children more human."

Is solution....'Solving of logistical undertakings, thus incinerating off nuances'. To pick between the hard/soft power solution options available? Eventually what has to happen will happen. It’s evolutionary dynamics , is a byproduct of the collective collaborative opportunity/choice picked up at largE.

Which understanding:-leadership quality & undertaking:- hard or soft power paths....do we promote/pick within our day to day lifestyle functioning? First option, some one is paid/trained to safeguard/protect. Secondly, every one is collectively involved within the outcome.

Year

The gift of time, is memories. The brave accumulate them, while the weak, wither away on/with its burden. Year, would it then qualify as 'Yearnings earned after reaping.' An year, has two dimensions: An abstract-emotional/Physical-tangible. WithOut 'humanly'/'equitably', nourishing the physical state of being and trying to instill divine virtues into the intellect/mind would be a futile hollow / shallow effort. Understanding/underTaking the causes/symptoms, both unconditionally/nonjudgmentally, is the beginning/end of any holistically driven journey/venture in its totality. "The truth is, we are not given a good life/bad. WE are GIVEN a life and it's up to us, to make it into a paradise/purgatory". "I said, what about my eyes? He said, keep them on the road. What about my passion? Keep it burning. What about my heart? Tell me what you hold inside it. Pain and sorrow? Stay with it....the wound is the place where the light enters you." Eventually, its easy for an angel to become a devil and easier for a devil to become an angel.

Pasting within, some statements made on my social media platform. When closing, the financial book for 2022. I personally think, an individual's birthday is their new year, where they have made a successful revolution around our star/sun. When the financial year closes, check on once financial blessings/balance sheet and learn to save/share prudently. On once personal new year/birthday, introspect on once character/attitude towards others/life. One has a choice, to be always bitter/better from any unfolding/evolving circumstance is the truth. Never the less....found this circulating note, creatively crafted.

"Hi Dear All,
This is to Inform You All that Our Beloved and Well Known Friend Mr 2022 is Retiring on the 31st of this Month.
His 12 Wives, 52 Children and 365 Grand Children will be Attending the Grand Send Off on Friday, the 31st December at 23.59 Hrs.
However, His Family Members asked Me to Inform You that He is Retiring with ALL Your Problems, Sickness, Disappointments, Frustration, Untimely Death, Shame, Disgrace, Barrenness, Discouragement, Failure, and Rejection.
Yet, His Successor - Mr 2022 asked Me to Inform You that, He is Going to Compensate You with :- Long Life, Good Health, Wealth, Love, Abundant Blessings, Peace, Joy, Righteousness, Promotion, Prosperity.
God's Blessings."

Highlighting, a nations evolving underStanding/underTaking....to be imbibed within individuals/nations, as a bench mark set, for our self/larger humanity to reform/evolve out into. For instance in this scenario..'He is an European/Asian/African/South American at heart....is the beauty of our salad bowl, USA. It's deep rooted intrinsic values, are to be unConditional/nonJudgemental to everyone. May it always shine/reach out, to be better from good.

Coping/Pasting/Sharing..few insightful blogs:

**WHAT WENT WRONG?

There was a very brilliant boy, he always scored 100% in Science.
Got Selected for IIT and scored excellent in IIT.
Went to the University of California for MBA.
Got a high paying job in America and settled there.
Married a Beautiful Girl.
Bought a 5 room big house and luxury cars.
He had everything that make him successful but a few years ago he committed suicide after shooting his wife and children.
The California Institute of Clinical Psychology Studied his case to find *“what went wrong?”*
The researcher met the boy's friends and family and found that he lost his job due to recent America’s economic crisis(COVID 19 Pandemic) and he had to sit without a job for several months.
After even reducing his previous salary amount, he didn't get any job.
Then his house installment broke and he and his family lost the home.
They survived a few months with less money and then he and his wife together decided to commit suicide. He first shot his wife and children and then shot himself.
The case concluded that the man was *Programmed for *success* but he was not *trained for handling failures*. Or the issues of real life.
Now let's come to the actual question.
*What are the habits of highly successful people?*
First of all, I want to tell you that if you have achieved everything, there is a chance to lose everything, nobody knows when the next economic crisis will hit the world.
*The best success habit is getting trained for handling failures*.
I want to request every parent, please do not only program yourself and your child to be *successful* but *teach them how to handle failures* and more importantly, teach them to face the realities and true lessons about life.
Learning high-level science and maths will help them to clear competitive exams but life knowledge and wisdom will help them to face every problem the world throws at them.
Teach them about how *money works* instead of teaching them to *work for money*.
Help them to find their passion because these degrees alone will not help them in the next economic crisis and we don’t know when the next crisis will hit."Success is a lousy teacher. Failure teaches you more."*

**What do we encourage/expect today for self/ from others?

"A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.
He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.
After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.
When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.
When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?'
'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.
Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.
Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up'.The man gestured, and the gate began to open.
'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveller asked.
'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'
The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence. As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.
'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'
'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in..'
'How about my friend here?' the traveller gestured to the dog.
There should be a bowl by the pump.'
They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it. The traveller filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.
When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.
'What do you call this place?' the traveller asked.
This is Heaven,' he answered.
'Well, that's confusing,' the traveller said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'
'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'
'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?'
'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.'"

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."
The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.
DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"
SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."
The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.
DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"
SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.
"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I want to play with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life.
We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.

**Journey
One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried loudly for hours, while the farmer tried to find something to do to get him out.
Finally, the farmer decided that the donkey was old and the well was already dry and needed to be covered anyway; that it really wasn't worth pulling the donkey out of the well..
He invited all his neighbors to come help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to throw dirt into the well.
The donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly loud. Then, to everyone's surprise, he quieted down after a few shovelfuls of dirt.
The farmer finally looked down into the well and was amazed at what he saw... with each shovelful of dirt, the donkey was doing something incredible: It was shaking off the dirt and stepping on top of the dirt.
Very soon everyone saw surprised how the donkey reached the mouth of the well, went over the edge and trotted out...
Life is going to throw dirt at you, all kinds of dirt... the trick to getting out of the hole is to shake it off and use it to step up. Each of our problems is a step up. We can get out of the deepest holes if we don't give up...
Use the land they throw you to get ahead!!!
Remember the 5 rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hate.
2. Free your Mind of distractions.
3. Simplify your life.
4. Give more and expect less.
5. Love more and... shake the dirt, because in this life you have to be a solution, not the problem.

**A dream

Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man ran to a tree, climbed on to it and sat on a branch. He looked down and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him. The man then looked to his side where the branch he was sitting on was attached to the tree and saw that two rats were circling around and eating the branch. One rat was black and the other one was white. The branch will fall on the ground very soon.
The man then looked below again with fear and discovered that a big black snake had come and settled directly under him.The snake opened its mouth right under the man so that he will fall into it. The man then looked up to see if there was anything that he could hold on to. He saw another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of honey were falling from it.
The man wanted to taste one of the drops. So, he put his tongue out and tasted one of the falling drops of honey. The honey was amazing in taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop and then another and as a result, he got lost into the sweetness of the honey. He forgot about the two rats eating his branch away, the lion on the ground and the snake that is sitting right under him.
Suddenly when the branch broke he remembered all the dangers woke up from his sleep. Since this was an unique dream, the man went to a pious philosopher/Scholar to know its meaning.
The scholar said
"The lion you saw is your death.
It always chases you and goes where ever you go.
The two rats, one black and one white, are the night and the day. Black one is the night and the white one is the day. They circle around, coming one after another, to eat your time as they take you closer to death.
The big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave. It's there, just waiting for you to fall into it.
The honeycomb is this world and the sweet drops of honey are the luxuries of this world. We like to taste a little of the luxuries of this world and it's very sweet. Then we want to taste little more and then more. Meanwhile, we get lost into it and we forget about our time, we forget about our death and we forget about our grave."
Wake up from the sleep and do good best of you before it's too late.
