With The Heart One Can See Rightly

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

Can You?

Can you hold a red-hot iron rod in your hand merely because some one wants you to do so? Then, will it be right on your part to ask others to do the same thing just to satisfy your desires? If you cannot tolerate infliction of pain on your body or mind by others’ words and actions, what right have you to do the same to others through your words and deeds

-Mahavir

True Behind

Life is not about the people who act true to your face. It's about the people who remain true behind your back.

Little Boy And A Waitress

This is from a old story, back in 30's, in the days when an ice cream sundae cost much less, a 10 year old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him 

"How much is an ice cream sundae?" he asked.

"Fifty cents," replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins he had.

" Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?" he inquired. 
By now, more people were waiting for a table and the waitress was growing very impatient. 

"Thirty-five cents," she brusquely replied. 
The little boy again counted his coins. "I'll have the plain ice cream, " he said. 
The waitress brought the ice cream, put the bill on the table and walked away. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.

When the waitress came back, she began to cry. As she wiped down the table. There placed neatly beside the empty dish were two nickels and five pennies.. He couldn't have the sundae because he had enough money to leave her a tip.

Kindness

Kindness is more than deeds. It is an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person.

A Little Of Each Other

We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere.
