"Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation." - The last words of the Buddha

White Elephants

A white elephant symbolizes something no one wants—in this story, the girl’s unborn child. The girl’s comment in the beginning of the story that the surrounding hills look like white elephants initially seems to be a casual, offhand remark, but it actually serves as a segue for her and the American to discuss their baby and the possibility of having an abortion. The girl later retracts this comment with the observation that the hills don’t really look like white elephants, a subtle hint that perhaps she wants to keep the baby after all—a hint the American misses. In fact, she even says that the hills only seemed to look like white elephants at first glance, and that they’re actually quite lovely. Comparing the hills—and, metaphorically, the baby—to elephants also recalls the expression “the elephant in the room,” a euphemism for something painfully obvious that no one wants to discuss.

Do not end up being a white elephant.

What I learn from my funny adventure with you is this:  Kindness trumps all the other principles, even honesty and clarity.  Thank you.

[Ajax616]

I now know what I have to do with you, my beautiful lost friend.  You will help me fulfill my destiny as a good and kind soul.

[Ajax616]

All the patterns to life, success, joy, peace and happiness is already in nature and inside of us. There's no need to seek or look for man created toys or dreams, they are so childish compared to nature's ambition.

Truth: Despite my male pride of pretending that there's none, I still do have a little animosity left to be confessed to and to dissipate away.‏

[Ajax616]

Sometimes we can't see around the corner because we are blinded by our hopes, fears, and desires, which may or may not be real.‏

[Ajax616]

The law of the Universe applies to all.

[Ajax616]

Angels: What will be left of us is an energy signature independent of our desires and fear conditioned from this world.‏

[Ajax616]

For a woman, maybe love and kindness is even stronger than physical attraction.‏

[Ajax616]

Thank you for saying hello, but we still need further distance of time.  Take care of yourself.

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion for others.....Thi s is what renews humanity. - The Buddha

[Ajax616]

Question to me:  Am I happier now than three months ago, six months ago, and/or a year ago?

If so, what has changed.

[Ajax616]

Hijacked: Emotions overwhelming reason and logic, due to fear, stress or desire.  As a result, actions are no longer controlled by reasons and common sense, but my uncontrollable emotions, and will have exaggerated impact, more frequently negative than positive.

[Ajax616]

Reason and logic will save us, because it always makes the right choice, use emotions as slave to reason and logic, not the other way around.
