The great sages realize words are like arrows because once they are released, they cannot be retrieved. Thus, they advocate that the words must passed through the three doors before they can be released.

1. The first door: "Are the words truthful?"
2. The second door: "Are the words necessary?"
3. The third door: "Are the words filled with kindness?"

Only if the words passed three three doors may they be released into the world.

The answer is "Of course there is an after life. it's amazing, beautiful, and exciting, but just don't expect it to be a human after life of you walking peacefully in the clouds among good friends and family and in the presence of a older white looking man you know to be God."

After all this time, I finally got the movie The Matrix's Red Pill or Blue Pill scene.

Blue Pill: Live the life you were taught and conditioned into. It will be safe as you live out your life. [The world of comfort and a closed mind]

Red Pill: Live the life that you invent and create for yourself with your heart's curiosity and dreams. There will be many uncertainties, tests, and suffering, but it will be filled with a life of growth and exciting adventures. [The world of discomfort, uncertainty, and an open mind]

This is a beautiful story to finding the key to happiness.

A man was walking home late one night when he saw Mullah Nasruddin on his and knees, searching under a street light for something on the ground.

“Mullah, what have you lost?” he asked.

“The key to my house,” Nasruddin said.

“I’ll help you look,” the man said.

Soon, both men were down on their knees, looking for the key.

After some time, the man asked: “Where exactly did you drop it?”

Nasruddin waved his arm back towards the darkness. “Over there, in my house.”

The man jumped up. “Then why are you looking for it here?”

“Because there is more light here than inside my house.”

Mulla Nasruddin and his Lost Donkey

One morning, people were astonished at seeing Mulla Nasruddin rushing into the marketplace, laughing and dancing. His friends came up to him and asked why he was so happy! What good news he had to share?

Mulla merrily shouted, ‘Guess what, I have lost my donkey! He ran away last night, and I can’t find him anywhere. Is that not great?’

A friend asked, ‘Mulla, the donkey was your bread and butter. It carried goods for trade. And donkeys are so expensive nowadays. Why are you so happy?’

Mulla had a grin on his face. ‘Ah ha, just think what a narrow escape I had! What if I had been sitting on the donkey? I would have been lost too!’

I had been thinking about this story. On the surface it seems to be comical about a man and his lost donkey. However, underneath there is a moral story to it. When you're in a relationship with a person who is lost, then let that person go out of your life, and you will find happiness.

I once had a red Pontiac Bonneville. It's not the V-8, but the V-6., so it wasn't super fast or quick The antenna was partially broken so the radio signal fades as one drives away from the city. I took it to an auto shop for repairs and I saw the technician drive it and the car looks so beautiful because it was mine. I don't know why it looked so beautiful as it moved out of the driveway on to the road. I wouldn't have traded it for a BMW. I guess that's how love is. It makes us see more beauty in what belongs to us.

I know it hurts when cheating occurs, but I can actually understand cheating when done by a woman. When men after men keeps asking for my body for pleasure, if the right ones come along, I may just give in to the temptation.  ;D

When the sun sets on an romantic relationship, it sets twice. There's the logical ending because the two people can only go so far in a relationship, and there is the emotional ending because the constant arguing and fighting has trampled everything to less than zero.

If you want a love to last a life time, then leave at the logical ending when you first discover that you can only go so far with this person. Doing so will allow both of you to carry the positive emotional memory all your life.

The author Elizabeth Gilbert decided that she was going to be a writer in sickness or in health, in day time or in time time, in success or in failure. She decided that she will be a writer no matter what the universe gives her, no ifs, ands, or buts. Then eventually she wrote 'Eat, Pray, Love." They turned into a movie starring Julia Roberts.
