With Joy I don’t cry
God’s love is wide like sea,
Once was blind but now i see.
With joy i kissed the blue sky,
But with joy never did i cry.
Whether i own all silver and gold,
Whether i meet my dead friend of old,
Might i become a King under the sun
My tears of joy don’t sip for fun.
But when my heart is sturbed with words
Tears of anger flock out like birds.
Any words that are inflictious and sarcastic,
Leave my eyes in sorrowfull and pathetic.
Whether i’m promised wings to fly,
Ecstacy and bliss may lift me high
But as long i’m in this earth of sorrows
My tears of joy will never kiss my brows.
Its because food never healed hunger.
All joy is vanity beyond stood anger.
When my joy will forever endure
Tears down my cheek i will ensure
Living a simple life
Like many people, you probably run through your life bogged down by a heavy load of worries about finances, traffic jams, your career, how you look, and what people think of you etc.
Thoughts rummage through your head like the mad rush of a river on a stormy day, all needing attention which reduces you to a monkey-state.
In reality, as much as you worry about giving shape to your life, you need to realize that you actually have very little control.
The unending spiral of thoughts and desires to control your existence only leads to suffering, distress and despair.
Rather than becoming a victim of the intransient and ephemeral, there is a way to enjoy your life at the cost of nothing.
What more, when you choose to enjoy your life in its presence form, you become who you really are and will find yourself attracting better things towards your being. Read more
Did they offend you?
“He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; And he that ruleth his spirit, than he that taketh a city.” – Proverbs 16:32
Once I spoke to a certain gentleman. He was relating an incident to me and he came to the part he wanted to emphasize one of his qualities. “I am very short tempered Mr Shamu,” he said. “I have a short wire.” He seemed to be bragging about it. I wondered if he would list this under his virtues. I’m sure he is not the only one who believes it’s a good quality to be desired in any leader. Some take pride in their outbursts (my wife calls this ‘blasting’). They blast someone and they feel they are on top of the world. Who would you rather have as a friend? One who takes offence easily and blasts people, or one who is calm, controlled and full of joy? I think the latter is a better friend and we all should strive to be the good friend. Read more
