Je gaat het je op een dag realiseren.
Dat geluk nooit ging over
je baan of je diploma's
of het hebben van een relatie.
Geluk ging nooit over
het volgen van de voetstappen
van degenen die voor je kwamen,
het ging nooit over
hetzelfde als anderen zijn.
Op een dag, zul je het zien.
Dat geluk altijd ging over de ontdekking,
de hoop, het luisteren naar je eigen hart
en het te volgen waar het koos om te gaan.
Geluk ging altijd over
vriendelijker zijn naar jezelf,
het ging altijd over
het omarmen van jou,
de persoon in wording.
Op een dag zul je het begrijpen
Dat geluk altijd ging
over leren om te leven met jezelf,
dat geluk nooit in de handen
van de ander lag.
Het ging altijd over jou.

The donkey told the tiger: The grass is blue.
The tiger replied: No, the grass is green.
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, and to do so they approached the lion.
Before reaching the clearing in the forest where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"
The lion replied: "True, the grass is blue".
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him".
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence".
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating: ′′The grass is blue"..
The tiger accepted his punishment, but he asked the lion: ′′Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"
The lion replied: ′′In fact, the grass is green".
The tiger asked: ′′So why do you punish me?"
The lion replied:
That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that to come and bother me with that question
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense... There are people who for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand, and others who are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they aren’t.
When ignorance screams, intelligence shuts up. Your peace and tranquility are worth more.
I don’t feel the desperate need for it.
I have to work things out myself, as it were.
When you’re very young, you wish to be in the middle of a lot of activity because it’s stimulating to you.
You are adding to it and taking out of it.
But there’s a point in life where you don’t need that crowd to do it.
You have enough in your head to sort out.

An
elderly woman got on a bus and sat down. At the next stop, a strong,
grumpy young woman climbed up and sat down beside the old woman, hitting
her with her numerous bags.
When she saw that the elderly woman
remained silent, the young woman asked her why she had not complained
when she hit her with her bags?
The elderly woman replied with a
Smile: "There is no need to be rude or discuss something so
insignificant, as my trip next to you is so short, because I am going to
get off at the next stop."
This answer deserves to be written in
gold letters: "There is no need to discuss something so insignificant,
because our journey together is too short."
Each of us must
understand that our time in this world is so short, that darkening it
with useless arguments, jealousy, not forgiving others, discontentment
and bad attitudes are a ridiculous waste of time and energy.
Did someone break your heart? Stay calm.
The trip is too short.
Did someone betray you, intimidate, cheat or humiliate you? Relax - Don't be Stressed
The trip is too short.
Did someone insult you without reason? Stay calm. Ignore it.
The trip is too short.
Did a neighbor make a comment that you didn't like? Stay calm. Ignore him. Forgive that.
The trip is too short.
Whatever the problem someone has brought us, remember that our journey together is too short.
No one knows the length of our trip. Nobody knows when it will arrive at its stop.
Our trip together is too short.
Let us appreciate friends and family.
Let us be respectful, kind and forgiving.
Because we will be filled with gratitude and joy, after all
Our trip together is very short.
Share your smile to everyone....
Our trip is Very Short!

The cells of our body are dying, the neurons in our brain are decaying, even the expressions on our face are always changing, depending on our mood. What we call our basic character is only a “mindstream,” nothing more. Today we feel good because things are going well; tomorrow we feel the opposite. Where did that good feeling go?
What could be more unpredictable than our thoughts and emotions: Do you have any idea what you are going to think or feel next? The mind, in fact, is as empty, as impermanent, and as transient as a dream. Look at a thought: It comes, it stays, and it goes. The past is past, the future not yet risen, and even the present thought, as we experience it, becomes the past.
The only thing we really have is nowness, is now.
