Do You See What I See?

Today on Twitter I spotted one meaningful twit retweeted.

It's by the Dalai Lama.

"I believe that whether a person follows any religion or not is unimportant, he or she must have a good heart, a warm heart."

..and I know that I should follow his tweets.

I don't know how, but somehow I feel peace,
like I can be saved as long as I read his words; having a good, warm heart is most important.

..because I've always been narrow-minded, and I believe his words will broaden my horizons.

Here are the few I find especially meaningful, if not to you, to me at the very most.

"We need to make a concerted effort to develop compassion; we must use all the events in our daily life to transform out thoughts & behavior."

"If you use violence, you may get some temporary satisfaction. But the nature of violence is unpredictable - unexpected results often happen."

"Anger may bring extra energy, but it eclipses the best part of our brain: its rationality. The energy of anger is almost always unreliable."

Yes. I keep forgetting that too. That violence, anger, aggression: they all bring nothing but pain, nothing but more problems, nothing close to solutions.

"Irrespective of doctrinal and other differences, all major world religions are concerned with helping individuals become good human beings."

I love this, and I whole-heartedly agree.

"Living a truly ethical life, putting the needs of others first and providing for their happiness, has tremendous implications for society."

So you see, it's not stupid ;)

"A compassionate person creates a warm, relaxed atmosphere of welcome and understanding around him."

I want this. I want to be able to achieve this naturally.

"The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger."

"The important thing is that our day-to-day life should be meaningful, that our attitude should be positive, happy and warm."

I don't know why, but this reminds me of the message from God that the Facebook application gave me.

As of now, I'm trying to maintain positive, but I'm still tired and worn out.
I believe that I shouldn't rest until I've completed my work, that I don't deserve rest until I do. But no, it's not true. Today, I felt terrible. I lacked sleep, and I lacked patience whilst talking with my grandmother. I lacked rest, and now my back aches. All this contribute to the lack of health, and now my performance is staggered.

A few hours ago, I found the message to be a temptation instead of a word of advice. Now I believe, yes, I should sleep, because in a way, God's saying; I should take care of myself before I take care of my priorities. Because, it is me, myself and I who will be taking care of my priorities. So as I get peace, and have enough rest, I will be good and set to do more.

That's the whole point.

"Once our mind is more calm and joyful, then our activities can be more effective."

(:

"When tragedy or misfortune comes our way, if we can shift our focus away from self and toward others, we experience a freeing effect."

"Genuine friends come only on the basis of warm-heartedness."

..which is why I love all my friends (:
You're all real,
and sometimes I feel not on par.
Although that could just be my lack of self-esteem self speaking.

"Loving thoughts and actions are clearly beneficial for our physical and mental health."

"More often than not, anger is actually an indication of weakness rather than of strength."

I'm weak.
But trying to be stronger (:

"The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well being becomes."

I'll end with this =)

Good night.
