to me it is like an outlook on life and all it's institutions. to reply means to try and deny what u need to admit to actually be pure in motive...........

Pragmatic

I strongly believe
that no stimulus and no words can go by without affecting a
person -- I don't claim to know more or less about what is
true or not, but I do believe in being pragmatic and using
ones own judgment and critical thinking to set the
boundaries for our actions

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...

Attitude

ATTITUDE!!!!!!!!

Help us

"Help us to find God"
"No one can help you there."
"Why not?"
"For the same reason
no one can help the fish
to find the ocean."

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.
