Repeat of my FB jottings, July 2013

Music without sweet melody

Is to me only an irksome malady

Dance without charm and grace

Is nothing short of eyesore and disgrace
 
True happiness comes not when we get rid of all of our problems, but when we change our relationship to them, when we see our problems as a potential source of awakening, opportunities to practice, and to learn.” ~ Richard Carlson, Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff
 
“Life is an ever-flowing process and somewhere on the path some unpleasant things will pop up – it might leave a scar, but then life is flowing, and like running water, when it stops it grows stale. Go bravely on, my friend, because each experience teaches us a lesson. Keep blasting because life is such that sometimes it is nice and sometimes it is not.” ~ Bruce Lee, Striking Thoughts

People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.
Isaac Asimov
 
பென்(pen) மொழிகள்
Where there is no respect for knowledge
Where there is no respect for hard work
Where there is no respect for sincerity
Where there is no respect for merit and integrity
Where THERE IS RESPECT ONLY FOR POWER AND PELF
THAT NATION CAN NEVER ATTAIN PROSPERITY.
 
“If you can find happiness inside you, then no matter what’s happening externally, you can access this source of happiness. You might lose your job, get sick, lose a loved one, have to go through a difficult medical procedure, go through a divorce … and you can still find this happiness. It’s there if you choose to use it. The external circumstances of your life matter, but they don’t take away your true source of happiness.” ~ Leo Babaut
 
[h=3]people who have all things in life
Are not happy but are filled with strife.
Unless one develops inner peace,
Material possessions alone cannot keep one at ease[/h]
 
ஃபோன் (phone) மொழிகள்


Life has become impossible without a cellphone

Rich or poor, old or young including the just born

Seem to spend half their life with it speaking

And the other half keeping it by their side sleeping

God has blundered in the design of our ear

Must have made the cellphone an integral part of us to hear
 
The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country. -Hermann Göring, Nazi military leader (12 Jan 1893-1946)
 
“None of those material possessions do anything to make your life any better… I know a lot of people who have a lot of everything, and they’re absolutely the most miserable people in the world. So it won’t do anything for you unless you’re a happy person and can have peace with yourself.” ~ Lenny Kravitz

பென் (pen) மொழிகள்

Child in the womb is part of the mother

Once out, the child and mother

are different from each other

(தாயும் சேயும் ஒன்றானாலும், வாயும் வயிறும் வேறுதான்)
 
பென்(pen) மொழிகள்


Accidents may annihilate us

Bombs may blast us

Cyclones may wipe us out

Diseases may destroy us

Earth quakes may eliminate us

Fires may finish us

Gases may asphyxiate us

Hanging wires may electrocute us

--------------------

Lightning may strike us

Murderers may massacre us

------------------

Poison may kill us ----------

Tsunamis may sweep us -----

Water may drown us ------

The list is innumerous and endless

That WE ARE BORN IS AN ACCIDENT and

That WE SURVIVE AGAINST ALL SUCH ODDS IS ITSELF ANOTHER ACCIDENT
 
Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, “Is it politic?” Vanity asks the question, “Is it popular?” But, conscience asks the question, “Is it right?” And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because one’s conscience tells one that it is right. -Martin Luther King, Jr., civil-rights leader (15 Jan 1929-1968)
 
Emotions do not accept reasons


Like faith they are beyond reasons and seasons

While faith has to be cultivated emphatically

Emotion is something built in automatically
