Well this one stood out because I drive all day and see this
stuff
happening all the time. The one thing about this that came
to my mine,
while it plays on the emotions about a single mother who is
working long
hours, I wouldn't feel all that bad if she wrecks and kills
herself, or
someone else because she is driving reckless. I would feel
bad for the
kids who just lost a mother, or someone else lost a loved
one because
someone was too much in a rush. :-( I'd rather get
somewhere late,
than not at all, plus I tend to make it to every where I
need to be
early, so there is no reason to rush.
It's sad that the vast majority of accidents are
preventable, which
means, a LOT of people could be alive to read/hear this
prayer if it
wasn't for someone "rushing" to something/someone
that will STILL be
there even if they took their time getting there!
Happy New Year!

I like the prayer. Its a good reminder to simply be more
tolerant. But I
agree about the rushing. Years ago a friend of mine remarked
how sad it
was that we rushed everywhere so we could slow down and have
fun. He was
referring to people who rush on vacation, trying to pack in
as many
things as possible... to have fun.
On the other hand, there are times, if we want to get things
done, we
are rushed whether we like it or not. Most of my life I've
spent in an
effort not to rush, and yet I find myself always in a hurry.
I think
most of us have way too much to do. So, we make a choice,
prioritize,
and pack in as much as possible. Maybe it goes even deeper
than the
obvious; we are rushing toward the end of life.
Never in my life have I known boredom. There is always more
than I can
manage, and some things have to be cut from the inbox. I
have believed
for a long time that those who get bored are boring people.
I can empathize with the single mother with too much to do.
Maybe she
would like to slow down, but things are never as simple as
they appear
on the surface.
All IMHO of course.

| Re: A good reminder for all in the new
year / boaz thank you . HAl |
  Japan |
2007-12-30 21:54:22 |
Thank you Hal
My name is just boaz , the name means a lot .. and it's
just a name
As far as I can understand besides the point that .. I
know
nothing at all ..
is that what we choose from what we allow our
recollection
system , from our basic
capability to receive , is what we might be able to use
.... or
away to be
I find that lack of listening and quick judgment ..
" Rushing "
into conclusions ..
is our first My MIS TAKE our .. or my mistake as a
human-being
is believing .. questing ..
That the quickest shortest way is better then the long
one ....
which is " right ".. but do not fit in every
area ..
What is " Right " what is " Logic " if
not peoples dull self-
satisfactory in temporary reality ...
IN Japan they say
there are thing one shouldn't hear .
there things one should not see
there are things that education , circumstance , fashion
life style
religion ...
make us atomically screen out .. so even if we see
something
we are afraid to acknowledge it ... we become .. able to
choose
discriminated blindness ..
to ask search for sight .. is the best gift ..
All I know is Hal .. is that I try to better my own
ability to
see and with that limit my
areas of expertise or interests .. very strange ....
In Japan there is a way its called Do,, sound like door
..
Relax your shoulder .. breath. think . ponder and wonder
. in
your stomach area
contradict to the brain where we believe the processor
is .
breath and then move ..... always breath relax the
shoulders ..
joints ..
" Let one mouth rest .. enjoy the silence "
they use to tell me ..
Thank you Hal
thank you for reading that nonsense ..
Life is a grand present for us to live ... wish yo a
beautiful year
YOI OTOSHI O Good year
