Wisdom Literature-3
George Carlin
Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could
write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings
but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have
bigger houses nd smaller families, more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little,
drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read
too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much,
love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life
not life to years. We've been all the way to the Moon and back, but have trouble
crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not
better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but
not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more
information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character,
steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more
divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable
diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do
everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the
showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this
letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to
just hit delete...
George Carlin
Remember;
Spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be
around forever.
Say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little
person soon will grow up and leave your side.
To give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only
treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
To say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all
mean it. An embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
To hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be
there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious
thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments
that take our breath away.
Sun is the highest of
the principal equivalent to the creator Brahmaa and element Air.
Saturn is the lowest of the principal equivalent to Kali and element Earth.
As Fire brings strength to Air, the same way Water bring strength to Earth.
Also as Fire is destructive to Earth, the same way Water is destructive to Air.
It is true that Sun's significant element is air.
Fire brings strength to Air and
Water brings strength to Earth and Fire is destructive to Earth.
I need lot of contemplation to understand how water is destructive to air.
I understand water is destructive to fire.
Friendship of Milk
and Water
Milk and water friendship example is very old and most cited. This is really
important to notice that when the milk is boiled, water burns itself first
before any harm comes to milk. Milk is so sympathetic with water that it indicates this (that
its friend is burning) by boiling out of the pot - showing its anger.
Another thing to notice is that the milk's anger can be pacified only by providing with it some more water.
Water is so protective to milk, that milk can be harmed
or burnt only when the water is not there to protect it.
Since water is not
there as its companion, milk itself start burning and burns to char. It spreads
its sadness in the form of bad smell so far that even neighbors can know that
milk is burning.
