The power to hurt

They that have the power to hurt
1 They that have power to hurt and will do none,
2 That do not do the thing they most do show,
3 Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
4 Unmoved, cold, and to temptation slow:
5 They rightly do inherit heaven's graces
6 And husband nature's riches from expense;
7 They are the lords and owners of their faces,
8 Others but stewards of their excellence.
9 The summer's flower is to the summer sweet
10 Though to itself it only live and die,
11 But if that flower with base infection meet,
12 The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
13 For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
14 Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

Meaning

Meaning is not something you stumble across, like the answer to a riddle or the prize in a treasure hunt. Meaning is something you build into your life. You build it out of your own past, out of your affections and loyalties, out of the experience of humankind as it is passed on to you, out of your own talent and understanding, out of the things you believe in, out of the things and people you love, out of the values for which you are willing to sacrifice something.

The ingredients are there. You are the only one who can put them together into the pattern that will be your life. Let it be a life that has dignity and meaning for you. If it does, then the particular balance of success or failure is of less account.

John Gardner

The Journey

If you were stationed on an island in the mid-Atlantic and a ship appeared, you would see it first on the horizon as a tiny point, scarcely moving. As it came closer it would appear to be traveling faster and growing larger. Finally, when it came closest to your island, it would appear to be going full steam ahead. Then, after a while, it would get smaller and seem to slow up, finally to disappear on the horizon and vanish from your sight. But it would still be on its journey, although no longer visible to you.

Now,. we can look at life not just as we see it between birth and death, but rather as we have looked at this journey of a ship. Very little of life appears to express itself in newborn children, but as they go through childhood into youth, there is an increasing surge of activity. They appear to be going faster, experiencing more and more of life. Finally they reach that stage of intensity where they seem to have come to the maximum, and life is at its fullest. We often say people are "at their prime" when this stage is reached. Then, toward old age, they slow down; they withdraw more and more from physical activity; they become more interned and reflective. Finally they reach the point where they withdraw completely. So we can see that death is really a gradual process that begins somewhere around middle age, when we have reached our prime, the maximum of our intensity in our rushing out toward physical experience which this life is.
Death begins when we turn away from this outer activity to a more reflective experience. Death is really the gateway to a fuller, freer life, on an ocean that is less bounded; it is a continuation of the journey on that invisible part of the great circle.

Answers from God

A man was wandering in the woods,
pondering all the mysteries of life, and his
own personal problems. The man couldn't
find the answers, so he sought help from
God.
"God? Can you hear me, God?" he asked.
"Yes. What is it, my son?" God answered.
"I know you are very, very busy, but would
you mind if I ask you a few questions?" the
man asked.
"Go ahead, my son, anything."
"God, is it true that in heaven, time moves
much faster than here on earth?"
God answered, "Yes, my child, a million
years on earth seems only a second in
heaven."
The man then asked, "God, is it true that a
million dollars on earth is only a penny in
heaven?"
God replied, "Yes, that is true, a million
dollars on earth is only a penny in
heaven."
The man lifted his eyebrows and smiled, as
his final question came to mind. "God,
would you toss me a penny, please?"
God answered, "Sure! Just give me a
second."

Positive Life

"Interesting reflection of life"
Don't spend major time with minor people. If there are people in your life that
continually disappoint you, break promises, stomp on your dreams, too
judgmental, have different values and don't support you during difficult
times...that is not a friend. To have a friend, be a friend.
Sometimes in life as you grow, your friends will either grow or go.
Surround yourself with people who reflect your values, goals interests and
lifestyle. When I think of any of my successes, I am thankful to GOD from whom
all blessings flow, and to my family and friends that enrich my life.
Over the years my phone book has changed because I changed for the better.
At first you think you're going to be alone, but after a while new people
show up in your life that make your life so much sweeter and easier to
endure. Remember what your elders used to say, "Birds of a feather flock
together." If you're an eagle, don't hang around chickens: Chickens Can't Fly!
Be Positive - Be Progressive - Take the time to make a positive difference
in someone's life

Do Not

Do not undermine your worth by comparing yourself to others
It is because we are diffrent that makes us special

Do not set your goals by what other people deem important
Only you know what is best for you

Do not take for granted the things closest to your heart
without them life will be meaningless

Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in the past or the future
by living day by day you live every day to the fullest
The quickest way to get love is to give love
the fastest way to loose love is to hold it too tightly
Do not be afraid to encounter risks
It is by taking risks that we learn how to be brave
Do not run through life so fast that you not only forget where you have been, but also where you are going.
Do not dismiss your dreams
To be without dreams is to be without hope
To be without hope is to be without purpose

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you
must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what
you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of
your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is
clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life.

I strongly believe
that no stimulus and no words can go by without affecting a

How Long

"How long, O Lord?" - Robert Palmer (killed in action, 1916)
How long, O Lord, how long, before the flood
Of crimson-welling carnage shall abate?
From sodden plains in West and East the blood
Of kindly men streams up in mists of hate,
Polluting They clean air: and nations great
In reputation of the arts that bind
The world with hopes of Heaven, sink to the state
Of brute barbarians, whose ferocious mind
Gloats o'er the bloody havoc of their kind,
Not knowing love or mercy. Lord, how long
Shall Satan in high places lead the blind
o battle for the passions of the strong?
Oh, touch They children's hearts, that they may know
ate their most hateful, pride their deadliest foe.

Affect

We cannot help thinking to some extent,
however weak may be the thought-currents we generate.
We MUST affect those around us,
whether we WILL or NOT;
the only question we have to decide is whether we will do it BENEFICIALLY or mischievously,
feebly or STRONGLY,
driftingly or of set PURPOSE...
Here lies our choice, a choice momentous for ourselves and for the world:
CHOOSE WELL; FOR YOUR CHOICE IS BRIEF AND YET ENDLESS...

Poison

The Healing Poison
A long time ago, a girl named Li-Li got married and went to live with her
husband and mother-in-law. In a very short time, Li-Li found that she couldn't
get along with her mother-in-law at all.
Their personalities were very different, and Li-Li was angered by many of her
mother-in-law's habits. In addition, she criticized Li-Li constantly.
Days passed days, and weeks passed weeks.
Li-Li and her mother-in-law never stopped arguing and fighting. But what made
the situation even worse was that, according to ancient Chinese tradition, Li-Li
had to bow to her mother-in-law and obey her every wish.
All the anger and unhappiness in the house was causing the poor husband
great distress.
Finally, Li-Li could not stand her mother-in-law's bad temper and
dictatorship any longer, and she decided to do something about it.
Li-Li went to see her father's good friend, Mr. Huang, who sold herbs. she told
him the situation and asked if he would give her some poison so that she could
solve the problem once and for all.
Mr. Huang thought for a while, and finally said, Li-Li, I will help you
solve your problem, but you must listen to me and obey what I tell you.
Li-Li said, "Yes, Mr. Huang, I will do whatever you tell me to do." Mr.
Huang went into the back room, and returned in a few minutes with a
package of herbs.
He told Li-Li, "You can't use a quick-acting poison to get rid of your
mother-in-law, because that would cause people to become suspicious.
Therefore, I have given you a number of herbs that will slowly build up
poison in her body.
Every other day prepare some pork or chicken and put a little of these
herbs in her serving. Now, in order to make sure that nobody suspects you when
she dies, you must be very careful to act very friendly towards her. Don't
argue with her, obey her every wish, and treat her like a queen."
Li-Li was so happy. She thanked Mr. Huang and hurried home to start her
plot of murdering her mother-in-law.
Weeks went by, and months went by, and every other day, Li-Li served the
specially treated food to her mother-in-law. She remembered what Mr. Huang had
said about avoiding suspicion, so she controlled her temper, obeyed her
mother-in-law, and treated her like her own mother. After six months had passed,
the whole household had changed.
Li-Li had practiced controlling her temper so much that she found that she
almost never got mad or upset. She hadn't had an argument in six months with her
mother-in-law, who now seemed much kinder and easier to get along with.
The mother-in-law's attitude toward Li-Li changed, and she began to love Li-Li
like her own daughter. She kept telling friends and relatives that Li-Li was the
best daughter-in-law one could ever find. Li-Li and her mother-in-law were now
treating each other like a real mother and daughter.
Li-Li's husband was very happy to see what was happening.
One day, Li-Li came to see Mr. Huang and asked for his help again. She
said, "Dear Mr. Huang, please help me to keep the poison from killing my
mother-in-law! She's changed into such a nice woman, and I love her like my own
mother. I do not want her to die because of the poison I gave her."
Mr. Huang smiled and nodded his head. "Li-Li, there's nothing to worry
about. I never gave you any poison. The herbs I gave you were vitimans to
improve her health. The only poison was in your mind and your attitude toward
her, but that has been all washed away by the love which you gave to her."
MORAL: Friends, have you ever realized that how you treat others is
exactly how they will treat you? In China it is said:
The person who loves others will also be loved.

The Raven

Edgar Allan Poe (1845)
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door-
Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;- vainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow- sorrow for the lost Lenore-
For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Nameless here for evermore.
And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain
Thrilled me- filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before;
So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating,
"'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door-
Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door;-
This it is, and nothing more."
Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer,
"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness I implore;
But the fact is I was napping, and so gently you came rapping,
And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door,
That I scarce was sure I heard you"- here I opened wide the door;-
Darkness there, and nothing more.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"-
Merely this, and nothing more.
Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning,
Soon again I heard a tapping somewhat louder than before.
"Surely," said I, "surely that is something at my window lattice:
Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore-
Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;-
'Tis the wind and nothing more."
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,
In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore;
Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;
But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door-
Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door-
Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore.
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the Nightly shore-
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
Much I marvelled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly,
Though its answer little meaning- little relevancy bore;
For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being
Ever yet was blest with seeing bird above his chamber door-
Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door,
With such name as "Nevermore."
But the raven, sitting lonely on the placid bust, spoke only
That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour.
Nothing further then he uttered- not a feather then he fluttered-
Till I scarcely more than muttered, "other friends have flown before-
On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said, "Nevermore."
Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken,
"Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store,
Caught from some unhappy master whom unmerciful Disaster
Followed fast and followed faster till his songs one burden bore-
Till the dirges of his Hope that melancholy burden bore
Of 'Never- nevermore'."
But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore-
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."
This I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing
To the fowl whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core;
This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining
On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er,
But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er,
She shall press, ah, nevermore!
Then methought the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer
Swung by Seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor.
"Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he hath sent thee
Respite- respite and nepenthe, from thy memories of Lenore!
Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!- prophet still, if bird or devil!-
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-
On this home by horror haunted- tell me truly, I implore-
Is there- is there balm in Gilead?- tell me- tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil- prophet still, if bird or devil!
By that Heaven that bends above us- by that God we both adore-
Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,
It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore-
Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore."
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend," I shrieked, upstarting-
"Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
Leave my loneliness unbroken!- quit the bust above my door!
Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted- nevermore!

Tempest in a Teapot

Yin Yang

YIN AND YANG. The terms yin and yang originated in ancient Chinese philosophy during the 4th century BC. They were first mentioned in an appendix to the 'I Ching' (Classic of Changes), one of the five classic works of Confucianism (see Chinese Literature, "Confucian Classics"). Yin and yang mean literally the "dark side" and the "sunny side" of a hill. In Chinese and much other Far Eastern thought, they represent the opposites of which the world is composed: light and dark, male and female, heaven and Earth, birth and death, matter and spirit. This is called a system of dualism, or two-sidedness. The two forces yin and yang are believed to be complementary and contrasting principles. Each makes up for what the other lacks, and the wholeness of the world would be incomplete if there were a deficiency of either. Together the yin and yang are depicted as a circle, one half dark and the other half light. (This symbol appears on the flag of South Korea.) Within the dark half there is a small light circle, and within the light half there is a small dark one. This suggests that, though opposites, there is a necessary relationship between the two. Neither exists in and of itself alone. The yin and yang are both said to proceed from the Supreme Being, or Ultimate. Their significance through the centuries has been felt in every aspect of Chinese thought, including astrology, religion, medicine, art, and government.

Fable
A fable is a story that makes a point, teaches, or advises. You can start with a moral and develop a story that leads up to it. Or, develop a story first, and decide afterwards what the story teaches or advises. For fable ideas, think of real-life situations that you've heard or read about that teach something. Read Aesop's or Jean de La Fontaine's fables to become familiar with this story form.


AESOP (died 564? BC). What little is known of Aesop, the legendary Greek teller of fables, is recounted by such ancient Greek authors as Herodotus, Aristotle, Aristophanes, and Plutarch. Even from the mentions of him in this literature it is difficult to separate fact from fiction and to get a true picture of his life.
It seems generally agreed that Aesop was a native of Thrace, lived during the first half of the 6th century BC, and spent part of his life as a slave on the island of Samos. The story in Plutarch's 'Lives' that Aesop was a highly esteemed writer of fables living at the court of King Croesus of Lydia is probably untrue. That he was a writer of fables at all is unlikely, although he certainly gained a wide reputation in the ancient world as a teller of such stories.
Fables, or metaphorical animal stories, were often told to illustrate a point or teach a moral lesson, much as they are still told. Such was Aesop's reputation that most of the fables in ancient times were ascribed to him. They include such well-known stories as 'The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf', 'The Fox and the Grapes', and 'The Hare and the Tortoise'.
Modern editions of Aesop's fables are based on various ancient collections made by different authors from the 4th century BC to the 2nd century AD. Two of these collections are the anonymous 'Augustana' and the compilation made by Babrius, a Greek writer of the 2nd century AD (See also Fable.)
LA FONTAINE, Jean de (1621-95). One of the world's favorite storytellers was Jean de La Fontaine. He wrote the beloved 'Fables'. French children have for years learned these verse stories. They have been translated into many languages. Adults never tire of the wisdom in these tales. (See also Fable.)
Jean de La Fontaine was born at Chateau-Thierry, in the French province of Champagne. His father was a government official in charge of forests. Young Jean attended school at Reims. In 1641 he went to the Oratory of St. Magloire in Paris, intending to become a priest. He never took his studies seriously, however, and soon returned home.
In 1647 La Fontaine took over his father's job. He was married in that same year. Before long, he gave up his job, separated from his wife, and went to live in Paris, where he spent his most productive years.
La Fontaine was a genius at making and keeping friends. Rich patrons took a liking to his wit, and they were happy to support him. A relative introduced the young man to Nicolas Fouquet, finance minister to Louis XIV. The minister gave La Fontaine a pension in return for four poems a year.
From 1672 to 1693 La Fontaine lived at the home of Madame de La Sabliere, a wise and studious woman. In 1683 he was elected to the French Academy. In about 1685 he met Monsieur d'Hervart, his last patron. With him he spent the last two years of his life.
The first six books of 'Fables' appeared in 1668. They were followed by two more in 1678 and 1694. Today only scholars read his other books, but the 'Fables' are read everywhere.
The 'Fables' are both realistic and fantastic. In one story, a fool thinks it is wrong for big pumpkins to grow on small vines and little acorns on great oaks. He changes his mind when a falling acorn awakens him from a nap under an oak tree.

Poem

Please find this poem for me:
"The raven" - Edgar Allan Poe


Equally challenging are the striking combinations of sound achieved by Edgar Allan Poe and Vachel Lindsay (see Poe, Edgar Allan; Lindsay, Vachel). Poe's well-known poem 'The Raven' tells a story, but the impact of the poem is its sound and rhythm an effect that is heightened by the internal rhymes and ending rhymes, especially the words that rhyme with "nevermore" to give a sense of impending doom.
But the Raven still beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking "Nevermore."

Passion of the Mind

FREUD - The passion of the mind by Irwin Stone
Freud said - "in England, everything is allowed accept what is specificaly forbidden. In Germany, everything is forbidden, accept what is specificaly allowed." and his father replied. " In Vienna, everything that is forbidden, is allowed"

Martha's mother: "It is true, in Berlin, things are serious, but not hopeless. In Vienna, things are hopeless, but not serious. In Hamburg, we do not pretend to be gay when we are sad or troubled. We do not end each sentance with a fooling strolling, as they do, though they may be anouncing the death of their mother.
If we don't like a person, we do not treat them in the most intradiating manner, then stab a gossip knife thought the ribs of his reputation. I do not care to spend the rest of my life turning realities into appearances."
Prof Charcotte said: Theory is good, but it does not put a stop to facts"
The greatest satisfaction a man can have is by seeing something new. That is to recognise it as new, we must be see-ers, we must look and look and look, until ultamitely we see the truth. I am not ashamed to confess to you that today I can see things in patients I have overlooked for 30 years in my hospital wards. Why is it that doctors see what they are learned to see? That is the way to free medical science.
Fleiss: Hericlitus - Everything is flux. Everyday we must learn something new in our science, else we have not lived for 24 hours.
