“Whenever two people meet, there are really six people present. There is each man as he sees himself, each man as the other person sees him, and each man as he really is.”

“You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing, and dance, and write poems, and suffer, and understand, for all that is life.”
― Jiddu Krishnamurti

Lovers are Lions
I was just thinking of how much courage it actually takes to love someone. You give them your complete permission to hurt you without any guarantee that they won’t. You commit to cry and suffer with and for them, knowing full well that even if it works out, eventually and inevitably one of you will mourn the ultimate loss of the other. I can now see that love takes heart, lot’s of heart, and lovers are in many ways like Lions. Lions are fearless and Lions are magic.

I normally don’t reblog these kind of trite little memes, but I really feel the need to comment on this one, since there is still so much grave misunderstanding and ignorance, particularly here in the West, regarding karma.
Karma has absolutely NOTHING to do with “deserving” anything! It is simply cause and effect, with the effects often occurring much later than the causes (according to Buddhadharma, usually lifetimes later). For anything that happens to a person to be “deserved” suggests that there is some cosmic being passing judgment on all of us and determining who should have what happen to them. I am aware that other religions (or at the very least, some followers’ interpretations of their religions) have such judgmental deities; Buddhism does not. Buddha never said that anyone got what they “deserved” through karma.
For example, my husband did not “deserve” to get into a car wreck today; the people who died or had their houses destroyed by tornadoes here in north Texas did not “deserve” that either; those in poverty don’t “deserve” their condition…the list could go on forever. All of these events are negative karma ripening; the conditions for that negative karma planted who-knows-how-long-ago are right for them to ripen now. That does not mean that any of those people “deserve” it.
hey if you teach your parrot to say ‘parrot’ it’s probably as close as you’ll get to owning a pokemon
My brother tells a story about his roommate’s parrot, that everyone who came to the house would say “you’re a bird!” to it so the bird would repeat the phrase back, no big. Until one day my brother was alone in the house with it and heard it say, very quietly, “I’m a bird.” My brother almost dropped a plate.
