How Do You Know It Wouldn't Hurt?

Life for me has been a thing of ups and downs in approximately equal measure. i don't have something sensational to report every day about my progress. Often I wonder if fulfillment in life is necessarily tied to a change for the better.

My rabbi once asked me how things were going, and I answered, "Things are not going all right, but it wouldn't hurt if they went a little better." Raising his formidable eyebrows, he said, "And how do you know it wouldn't hurt?".

Retaining Your Birthright To Be A Person

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person. And to retain this right, you will have to be willing to take the social or external risks involved in ignoring pressures to do things the way others say they should be done.

Rugged Terrain

It's wonderful going to beach that is yet to be flocked by the public. Its rugged surroundings might turn off many visitors, but for me, they are the most enthralling to visit. It's nice to be in a place unspoiled by development. Although development is good for a place, it somehow destroys the atmosphere of the place once they arrange the surroundings to suit their perception of what a beach should look like.

Now, it is a privilege to be in a place such as this because there are only a few of these areas left in the country.

Go out & explore these places and get in touch with what Mother Nature intends her creations to be.

The Flight of the Bats

Marvel at the sight of hundreds of bats awakened and manning the skies.
It almost looks like the scene from Batman Begins where he called on the the bats to escape arrest.

That's How I Feel About You

There is no shame in finding someone else to be attractive, or good company. Even if they don't like you, there is no shame. If you happen to be fond of people, and they're not fond of you, it's OK. You don't have to have them like you first. You don't have to wait to see if they'll love you back! You can announce it - say, "Hey! I think you're a fantastic person. Regardless of what you think about me, that's how I feel about you.".
