In Jerusalem, a female reporter heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the waiting wall to pray twice a day, everyday, for a long, long time. She went to the waiting wall and there he was! She watched him pray and after about 45 minutes when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview. "Sir, how long have you been coming to the wall and praying?" "For over 60 years." "60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?" "I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all of our children to grow up in safety and friendship." "How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?" "Like I'm talking to a fuckin' wall.

Sometimes you're unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life.... A child on a farm sees plane fly overhead & dreams of flying. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse & dreams of returning home.
That's life! Enjoy yours... if wealth is the secret of happiness, then the rich should be dancing on the streets. But only poor kids do that. If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded. But those who live simply, sleep soundly. If beauty and fame bring ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. Live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely... All good will come back to you...

Friendship is a bond of trust and love,
A connection that is pure and true,
A companion on life's journey,
A treasure that we all pursue.
/channel/e_idioms
With laughter and with tears,
We share our hopes and fears,
With open hearts and open minds,
We leave behind all doubts and blinds.
In times of joy and times of sorrow,
A true friend is always there to borrow,
A listening ear, a helping hand,
A heart that truly understands.
/channel/e_idioms
Through thick and thin, through good and bad,
A friend will always stand,
With patience and with grace,
A friendship will always last.
So here's to you, my dear friend,
May our bond never end,
May we always be there for each other,
Through all life's twists and turns and weathers

In the realm of intellect, a virtue profound, Open-mindedness, a trait so renowned. A mental canvas vast and wide, Where prejudice and bias subside./channel/e_idioms
To entertain diverse ideas with grace, Is the hallmark of an open-minded space. In a world with differing viewpoints to behold, It's open-mindedness that sets the gold standard, we're told.
Like a scholar's quest, a relentless search, To explore, discern, and wisely perch. On the precipice of knowledge's expanse, Open-mindedness gives reason a chance.
But broad-mindedness goes a step beyond, Embracing not just knowledge, but life's great bond. It weaves the tapestry of compassion and care, Understanding others, their burdens to bear.
In the grand academic forum, these twins unite, Guiding us toward a more enlightened height. They foster collaboration, empathy's fire, Igniting the human spirit, higher and higher.
In the expanse of thought, where minds take flight, Open-mindedness and broad-mindedness shine bright. With humility, they tread the learning's road, Guiding us toward wisdom's abode

"How to be remembered"
/channel/e_idioms
In the monastery of Sceta, Abbot Lucas gathered the brothers together
for a sermon.
'May you all be forgotten,' he said.
'But why?' one of the brothers asked. 'Does that mean that our example can never serve to help someone in need?'
'In the days when everyone was just, no one paid any attention to people who behaved in an exemplary manner,' replied the abbot.
'Everyone did their best, never thinking that by behaving thus they were doing their duty by their brother. They loved their neighbour because they understood that this was part of life and they were merely obeying a law of nature. They shared their possessions in order not to accumulate more than they could carry, for journeys lasted a whole lifetime. They lived together in freedom, giving and receiving, making no demands on others and blaming no one. That is why their deeds were never spoken of and that is why they left no stories.
If only we could achieve the same thing now: to make goodness such an ordinary thing that there would be no need to praise those who practice it.
