Lend your ear (Compassion)

I really love this quote, “Let your soul lend its ear to every cry of pain as a lotus bares its heart to drink the morning sun. Let not the fierce sun dry one tear of pain before you yourself have wiped it from the sufferer’s eye. But let each burning human tear fall on your heart and there remain, nor ever brush it off until the pain that caused it is removed”1001 meds.

We all walk among others with a cure that could heal many ills. With a good intention of being able to help others, you therefore enrich yourself with lots of love and tenderness towards others.
Allright here it is a chance to lend your hand - not your ear unfortunately, but they all means the same hehehehe

Here is the schedule;
Thursday, 20th April - Visit to Just Enough Faith (JEF)
Time: 8am – 5pm (meet at UNSW 8am sharp) All drivers are desperately needed =)
Venue: Just Enough Faith, Waterfront Drive, Callan Park, Rozelle NSW 2039
We have talked a lot about metta (loving-kindness) and karuna (compassion), it is now time to put our speech into action! We will be going to JEF to help prepare food for homeless people. If the last charity work you have done was ages ago (like me), this is a great opportunity for you to refill your Good Kamma Tank. For more information about JEF, visit http://www.justenoughfaith.org/.

Unfortunately, I wont be able to make it since I ll be working the whole day…. but if you do have the time and lots of spare time, I would recommend you all to come…. =)

“In life, nothing is certain - we foreva fall through the emptiness of not knowing. Unable to feel comfortable with such uncertainty, we may close our eyes to the full potential of our lives. Clinging to the illusions of safety offered by habit and routine. Howeva, to live fully we must open our eyes and accept our fears of the unknown. We must allow chance to play its part. We must take risks from time to time.” Quote from 1001 meds

Johnson wrote; I just happened to stumble on this cool quote too and so instead of rambling on about emotions which makes the average guy less average, i decide to take pride to invade your personal blog space with a quote from t.s eliot on his judegment of a typical family:

‘Two people who know they do not understand each other,
Breeding children whom they do not understand
And who will never understand them’

*sob sob* i am feeling emotional already.

Reply;
Jonson, 1st of all thanks for your comment - was quite surprised, cos i dont fink anyone would comment on my posted blogs.
hmmm another thing i dont understand y the above quote makes u quite sad…. tats reality tho- welcome to the real world +) LOL
Hmm in my opinion common ppl like us cant even understand ourselves- our feelin, etc then how can we understand other individualssss…………………..
We can try to show understanding to someone’s actions, but its hard to understand someone personally - in n out, cos we cant see thru ppls mind n soul or what are they feelin at that moment… unless if ur a powerful psychic hehehehhehe

ANyway glad uve given some quotes as well - so that we may debate and see others point of view in things

Cheers,
Mel

hey btw

“Emotions can feel uncontrollable- we have no choice but to experience it. But to live by our emotionsis to live under tyrant’s rule. Acknowledge emotions for what they are, without shame or guilt and then allow them to pass through you like wind moving through the leaves of the tree. Remember that it is only with your permission that feelings can change the way you behave” 1001 meds book

Such an excellent quote to complement my entry yesterday…..

YEsss I was very moody yesterday n now im bakkkk on track heheheheh
Anyway, hope we all can learn that nothin is permanent. sometimes in our life’s they will be times where evrythin seems to b very hard n unbearable- Hey just rmb its not permanent - if its too much to handle, let someone dear or close to you, know about it. tat is why counsellin is a good business nowadaysss hehehehehehehehhe

Anyway take good care guys

Heyaaaaa, It s me again…

Today there wont b any words of wisdom or inspiring quote posted here, only reflection and questions….
Why do we worry more as we grow up??? Why this wondering thoughts never stops ??? Is it because now we are able to see the real world ??

Today im not feelin so good….sounds weird when it comes out from me !!! , ….. so many things that worries me and sometimes i wish i neva need to grow up … well if you guys had a time to look at this then tat means u must hav taken a look at the bulletins i posted out yesterday (Ref Tribute to Rose)….. As quoted she advised us that age only is a number and we should look at life from bright n positive perspective, also be grateful with what we have….. Howeva, there’s always time, wher we actually feel crap - like wat im feelin now… +)
We cant resist it or avoid it -feelin come and goes, but the main point is to advise ourselves that it’s allrite to feel bad or crap.
Hmm actually tats more like an advise to myself HAHAHAHA…..

vrything is impermanent - thats the excitement of life dont u say???? well gtg +)
btw,i ll post somethin good next time
