Water Vs land

I was born at a seaside town, and though we moved inland, I loved the times we visited our hometown and spent the night sitting by the seaside with the waves lapping, eating and drinking beer with my cousins. The breeze and sound of the waves has a sort of calming effect and does lull you to be content just to be there. Hmmmmm....... I guess I do miss the seaside after all! (feeling nostalgic)

"Bao Gong interrogates a rock"! Once there was a little boy whose mother was very sick. He needed to earn money to buy her medicine, so one day, he went to market and sold a huge basket of fried bread. He sat by a rock and counted his money with greasy fingers from the bread oil. He had exactly 100 copper coins – enough to buy medicine. He had been selling bread all morning and was very tired, so he lay next to the rock and took a nap. When the boy woke up, his basket of coins was gone! So, he started to cry. Passing by, a renowned official named Bao Gong saw the boy crying. Bao Gong was famous for his cleverness, and asked the boy what was wrong. "My money from selling fried bread is gone," the boy wailed. Bao Gong looked around and thought for a moment. With a flourish, he pointed accusingly at the rock where the boy had napped. "This rock stole your money, I'm sure of it. I'll question the rock and tell it to give your money back." The boy stopped crying as Bao Gong started shouting at the rock, cursing the rock's mother and threatening to grind it into gravel. A crowd gathered to watch Bao Gong interrogate the rock. The general consensus was, "Is this guy for real? We thought Bao Gong was supposed to be smart." Bao Gong whirled on the crowd. "How dare you question me. You're all fined one copper coin for speaking ill of an imperial official." The crowd grumbled about the unfairness, but Bao Gong filled a pot with water and commanded that each person put in one coin. When one man put his copper into the pot, Bao Gong ordered the crowd to seize him. "This is the real thief! When he dropped the coin into the pot, you could see a film of oil on the water. All the boy’s coppers were greasy from the bread." The thief had no choice but to give the coins back to the boy, and the boy went home with enough money to buy his mother medicine. 'Moral': "Don't underestimate cleverness, even if it appears to be crazy!" I'm surprised you read all these stuff, Kaustuv. Justice Bao is legendary for his 'investigative' skills and a symbol of'justice'. |

My sister was abused during her marriage, and the family rallied behind her and she left. And then she went back to him, because he said 'sorry'! It happened again, and she packed her bags, got her own place and got a divorce.
Many years down the road, he seemed to have mended his ways.... and they got back together again, a seemingly happy family. Then....out of the blue, she moved out again...and this time, the daughter was the one who make the call! I wish I could say and believe abusers can change.... but yet to see one! I wonder if anyone who has been an 'abuser' would ever own up that they were one, that they tried to mend and what the heck was going up in that mind of theirs when they raised their hands. |

Chapter One in Pin Yin d�o ke d�o,fei ch�ng d�o m�ng ke m�ng, fei ch�ng m�ng w�m�ng, tian d� zhi shi: youm�ng, w�n w� zhi mu. g�, ch�ng w�y�, yi guan q� mi�o, ch�ng youy�, yi guan q� jiao. ci liang zhe, t�ng chu �r y� m�ng. t�ng w�i zhi xu�n, xu�n zhi y�u xu�n, zh�ng mi�o zhi m�n. The Tao that can be spoken of Is not the Everlasting Tao The name that can be named Is not the Everlasting name The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth The named is the mother of ten thousand things Therefore, ever desireless One can observe the hidden mystery; Ever desiring One can observe the manifestations. These two issue from the same origin, Though named differently. Both are called the dark. Dark and even darker, The door to all hidden mysteries. Another English version |

This is the non-clique clique thread. Ever join in on the conversation just to feel left out? Ever start a topic and get no responses? I think everyone has that feeling at one time or other. When it happens to me, I just moon everyone. moon??? (checking the definition of 'moon'..... dang, why did I miss that!) Encore encore encore Pancho! |

"Good Karma - Life Mantra" Instructions for life Mantra 01. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 02. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 03. Follow the three R's of good karma: Respect for self Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions. 04. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 05. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. 06. Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship. 07. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 08. Spend some time alone every day. 09. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 11. Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. 13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. 14. Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality. 15. Be gentle with the earth. 16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. 17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. 18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. 19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. [Laurence J. Peter] oh man, this is so right on the money. My good parents taught me most of these things, the other things I have not heard but know to be true with knowing the other things. I will keep reading it till it is framed in my mind so I can share with others. 'Lovely'! Keep Smiling! Of all the above, this stood out:- Follow the three R's of good karma: Respect for self Respect for others and Responsibility for all your actions. Thank you, Kaustuv for this post! |
