♫ If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. -- Albert Einstein

Sigh. So true. But "kalyug" is such that even this much is a blessing. Wishing for more..

Never fear shadows.... that always means there is a light shining somewhere.

Life is… Leaving the house in the morning, dressed in clothes that you bought on credit card for work, driving through the traffic in a car that you are still paying for, putting in fuel that you cannot afford, in order to get to the job that you hate but need so badly, so that you can pay for the clothes, car, fuel and the house that you leave empty the whole day, in order to live in it!

Hmm.. wish we can make life more than just that.. maybe not now.. maybe later.. but sometime.. never say never!

Conference: The confusion of one man multiplied by the number present.

Ah :-)

Perfumed happiness

Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

I guess thats typical of sadness too. In fact, come to think of it, possibly perfume's behaviour is typical of all things we do. And hence, the saying, "As you do, so will you reap". Makes sense now, eh?

Eyes of the beholder

We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.

Hear ye, hear ye!

Bad English masquerading as great emotion :(

Once all village people decided to pray for rain. On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella. Thats Confidence.

Excuse me. (clearing throat)
"On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an umbrella"
Thats NOT confidence. It shows that other people have NO confidence.

"One boy came with an umbrella". That IS confidence.

I am sure you see the difference, but people write things in English without thinking. They never even realize what they are themselves saying.

Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.

I guess its meant to imply that even if you are in pain, you can choose not to suffer? Really, does it work like that??

Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and still it wont shorten the life of the candle.

Expecting the world to treat U fairly because U are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian
