The doctor said........

Many people in difficult situations are told to do this or that by their doctors.

Once upon a time you did what they told you.

Today it might be prudent to think twice.

In fact thinking for oneself is always a smart thing to do.

Yet amazingly many people even with their lives at risk do not think.

They just blindly accept.

It is not the doctors life it is yours.

In the final analysis we are all responsible for our own lives.

Inform yourself.

Make your choices.

Single parents

Be aware that your child needs time with your opposite sex.

If you are a single mother then try to make sure that your child has time with some child friendly male.

This so that your child is comfortable around members of your opposite sex.

So many children are starved of this possibility that many grow up dysfunctional.

Do not let your own prejudices harm your child's growth.

Men and women need each other.

This to complete their individual growth and understanding of themselves.

Sexy

She's so sexy.

He's so sexy.

Warning!

There is no free lunch.

Everyone comes with their story and baggage.

Do you really want to pay that price?

Wake up to sexy,

It's just manipulation to get what they want.

Sure the body might excite.

But do you really want to pay that price?

Think twice before you go for sexy!

Male measures

Many males believe that because they have a job and earn money that this is a measure of their worth.

This worth as they understand it is then magically transformed into a self measurement of their value as a human being.

Worth being regarded as value by this measurement

This creates many problems as a value based on money or job alone says nothing or little about the person as a human.

This is true even if many males should choose to so delude themselves.

When meeting males find out quickly how they see themselves.

Do not waste time on money valuing males.

If they have no contact with their emotions then better leave them be.

Smiling is for health

Yes, today if you smile you are indeed helping your immune system.

You are smiling for your health.

If you live in a city as most of us do then try smiling more.

You never know your smile can go all the way around your city and one day come back to you.

So if you like seeing smiling people then start by sending yours out each day.

Smile for health in fact!

Mechanism of understanding

In order to prevent a thing we must understand it.

We cannot understand while we fear or hate it.

We are not to love vice, but are to recognize that it is a part of the whole, and, trying to understand it, we thus get above it.

This is the "doctrine of opposites" spoken of in Bhagavad-Gita.

So if we turn in horror now (we may feel sad and charitable, though) from the bad, the future life will feel that horror and develop it by reaction into a reincarnation in a body and place where we must in material life go through the very thing we hate now.

So we must strive to regard the greatest vice as being something we must not hate while we will not engage in it.

Then we may approach that state where we will know the greater love that takes in good and evil men and things alike.

Tedium

Five or six days a week same old routine.

Come the weekend suddenly you are free.

Really?

Or do you step into another tedium?

The tedium of conformity.

The tedium of doing the same old things?

Try to break out of your patterns.

Break free.

Step outside your box.

Experience life as something new.

Go beyond tedium.

The way back

The way back from being really down is best achieved:

Slowly

Quietly

Gently

No noise

Keep your thoughts to yourself until you are sure again.

Wait until you have found your balance again.

Listen to your heart.

And then and only then open your mouth.

World Cup

What really excites?

A truly global contest.

Something decided on merit.

Something that politicians cannot so easily fix.

Something with many rounds over several weeks.

And just maybe the unexpected.

Male bonding on a global scale.

Female incomprehension on a global scale.

All in all a nice change in pace.

Strange things

The most strange things happen continually in nature, and hardly attract our attention.

They do not seem strange to us, although we do not understand them; merely because we are accustomed to see them every day.

Who would be so “foolish” as to believe that a tree could grow out of a seed

– as there is evidently no tree in the seed

– if his experience had not told him that trees grow out of seeds in spite of all arguments to the contrary ?

Who would believe that a flower would grow out of a plant, if he had not seen it, for observation and reason show that there is no flower in the stalk ?

Nevertheless, flowers grow, and cannot be disputed away.

Wonder at the strange things we take for granted.

Without wonder this world is indeed a sorry place.

Strange things are all around us.

Notice your world.
