Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
Happiness is the Eternal Oneness.
It is only when you are dreaming that you see the "many".
Therefore, wake up and roar.
When you sleep you are all alone, and while you're asleep you dream of mountains, rivers, forests, friends, animals and a world full of people.
But is the dream real?
Let me tell you another story. One night, a man goes to sleep and dreams that he gets married and has many children together with his wife. Then one day, a flood comes and all of his children are lost in the flood. His wife too, get washed away with the flood.
The man is now suffering. He is crying, "Where is my wife? Where are my children?"
Meanwhile, a tiger comes toward him, and he instantly wakes up.
After waking, he fells so happy.
Even though in his dream his wife and children have died, on waking he knows that it is all unreal. Even the suffering was unreal.
So now let the tiger appear to tell you, "Wake up, this is a dream."
