Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Oct 25, 2009 " This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness. " -- Dalai Lama " I was sitting in Billy's Downtown Diner one morning. While eating my breakfast, I had been fretting over the rising cost of tuition and housing at college. I kept dwlling on how it was affecting my mood, and how it was making me unhappy. Then, it came to me: perhaps my plight should be the means for someone else's happiness. I noticed a mother and daughter sitting across the way from me. I went up to the waitress and asked for their check as well as my own. I headed for the counter, and paid for their meal. I didn't bother to stick around for any sort of reaction. I was so excited and had such a great feeling that my legs were shaking. I would just like to think they were able to enjoy the surprise. " --KindFool " [...] I now live a life wherein I love smiling (I mean REALLY love to smile), so much so that my university students have nicknamed me 'the Queen of happiness'; I love helping others and transferring positive vibes. For me, I may not always have money, clothes or food to share with another person, but as long as I'm alive, I'll ALWAYS have the will and ability to touch the heart and soul of another, through my simple act of smiling. Which, in turn, will give someone else every reason to smile " --MsSmiley Checked by AVG.
