WE MUST ALSO CHANGE OURSELVES

Beware of One-Track Minds

       They will not listen to what you say. Their conclusions are final and irrevocable. Like this person who accused the blogger of non-remittance of money collections. What remittance? Was he there when the blogger collected the money? That advertisement in a souvenir program of the organization, he said. 

     The blogger never collected the money--the magazine (that printed the souvenir program) was never delivered because the advertiser was in America at that time.

    I put the dark okra seeds, no bigger than rice grains--on a discarded noodle cup, put water on it and laid it aside in a corner of the abong-abong in the backyard. The following morning, I took the cup and perused the seeds, some of which have sprouted. How will that shoot, no bigger than a comma, grow into a "bush" of many fruits? The mystery of the seeds is the mystery of God, that they say is a spirit. 

                            

WE MUST ALSO CHANGE OURSELVES

    "Not only must we accept ourselves, but we must also change ourselves. Until the day of our death we can change, we can tap hidden resources in our make-up. We can discipline ourselves to turn from the morbid circle of useless self-pity or enslavement to childish frustrations and begin to give our energy to other people, to a cause, a movement, a great social enterprise. In such service we can find freedom from ourselves and liberty from our fears."- Joshua Liebman
