Thought 07AUG2008

ON DESIRE
As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, you should keep it. Only give up a thing when you want some other condition so much that the thing no longer has any attraction for you, or when it seems to interfere with that which is more greatly desired.
Mohandas K Gandhi - Extracted from 'Speaker's Sourcebook II', Glen Van Ekeren, Prentice Hall, 1994
Rain does not fall on one roof alone - Cameroon

THE WISE WAY - Parodoxical Commandments

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centred; Forgive them anyway
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone may destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, others may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people may often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is all between you and GOD; It was never between you and them anyway.
