    A Buddhist monk once told me many years ago in broken English, "maybe change your feelings maybe change your karma".

    It is a very profound yet simple saying packed into few words that didn't get lost in translation, and it puts "change yourself and you change the world" into perspective.

    When I was a very small boy
    Very small boys talked to me
    Now that we've grown up together
    They're afraid of what they see
    That's the price that we all pay
    Our valued destiny comes to nothing
    I can't tell you where we're going
    I guess there's just no way of knowing

    This was in the days when you had to wind the film on, and apparently it squeaked..... :eek:
    I should add that John was a bright guy..an engineer.

    Alice came to a fork in the road. "Which road do I take?" she asked.
    "Where do you want to go?" responded the Cheshire cat.
    "I don't know," Alice answered.
    "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

    Reminds me of the Native American Elder speaking to his grand son of the two wolves competing for his soul. One was the wolf of the things you mentioned and the other was the wolf of compassion, understanding and love. The grand son asked which wolf would win the fight, the Elder said..... "the one you feed"

    Lack of understanding
    becomes misunderstanding
    when there is speculation
    instead of investigation.

    I thought this is relevant to this forum if only in my person and posts.

    What pride should we have,
    when we might be humbled
    by great suffering at any time,
    when our negative karma ripens?
