I Am !!!

Ego is but an empty shell,

Filled with air of your mental self,

To prove a point, or prove things right,

Ego will finally, make you hate your life.

I am, is what kills all your nice,

I am, is not always gonna be right,

Look into the mirror and realize,

I am, should not give you a fright.

I am, I am, will not make you an amigo,

I am, I am, is the voice of your ego,

I am, I am, will make a hole,

I am, I am, will kill your soul.

How Far

Only by going too far can one possibly find out how far one can go.

Dose of Thought

Everyone is a mirror, because you only search for yourself in others.

Gift of Giving

A traveler goes into a town hit by famine. The inhabitants try to discourage the traveler from staying, fearing he wants them to give him food. The traveler explains that he doesn't need any food and that, in fact, he was planning to make a soup to share with all of them.

The villagers watch suspiciously as he builds a fire and fills a cooking bowl with water. With great ceremony, he pulls a stone from a bag, dropping the stone into the pot of water. He sniffs the brew and exclaims how delicious stone soup is. As the villagers begin to show interest, he mentions how good the soup would be with just a little cabbage in it. A villager brings out a cabbage to share. This repeats until the soup has cabbage, carrots, onions, and spinach indeed, a substantial soup that feeds everyone in the village.

We understand from the story, that we all keep our ideas, knowledge and love to ourselves, with the view that not sharing will actually make us richer. But the fact is any knowledge or love that we have we are only poor. It is only if this little knowledge and love comes from everyone, we really become richer. Share the little knowledge and love you have with everyone, it will make the entire world a better richer place.

Compare Life

A morning start, with comparing life,

Of all that's missing in spite of trying,

The day starts dull and nothing's right,

Comparing life is only the wrong fight.

Life's not fair, when you sit and compare,

The bad’s enjoying life, but you're in despair,

It's only temporary you better get that right,

Don't compare with bad, throughout your life.

Comparing life, can never make you strong,

Comparing life, will not take you long,

Comparing life, is the wrongest wrong,

Comparing life, should never be your song.

Think Think ...

You'll be surprised to know how far you can go from the point where you thought it was the end.
