Unreasonable

Mother teresa had it right in many ways. i like much of what she said because it came out of real life expereince at the sharp end of humanity. What stops us from displaying more of the quailities that we see in her?

"People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people may accuse you of selfish motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you may win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People who really want help may attack you if you help them. Help them anyway. Give the world the best you have and you may get hurt. Give the world your best anyway."

Dead Horses and Nags

 

The Dakota Indians have a saying, passed on from generation to generation; when you discover you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.  However some organisations, dare I say some people, often employ more advanced strategies, such as:

 

1. Buy a stronger whip
2. Change riders
3. Appoint a committee to study the horse
4. Lower the standards to include dead horses
5. Reclassify the horse as “living impaired”
6. Hire outside contractors to ride the horse
7. Harness several dead horses together to increase the speed
8. Rewrite expected performance requirements for all horses
9. Promote the dead horse to management
10. Declare that, as the horse no longer needs feeding, it is less costly, carries lower overheads, and therefore contributes substantial more to the bottom line than other horses!

Questions

Do you have any questions that keep rotating around your head? i have a few that have been with me since i can remember; 

What keeps the earth in its place and stops it from "Falling"? 

Why does the moon and the sun appear the same size in the sky, such that when you get an eclipse they fit perfectly over each other? 

How can the earth be so far from the sun that it gets frozen at the top and bottom but so close that its too hot to survive for long in  the middle? Is this a coincidence or just good planning?

On the issues of the big bang, how could something come out of nothing, as this is directly in opposition to the laws of thermodynamics..matter can neither be created nor destroyed.....??

I have many more of these for another day.....

I like this idea of a blog, a window on a soul, camera on thoughts. The idea that anyone would be interested to read it is beyond me but here it is. I guess we learn from each other.
