part 2: as stated in my cbox, i am suppose to intro =) (smiley face) a book...here is the book and i will just state one of the story in here...due to copyright reason.
The book is called: Opening The door of Your Heart
I cant find a big picture of the book..but it is written by Ajahn Brahm
Not a romance book...its a Buddhism story book..no offence to other religion blog readers...Indeed an inspiring book, my standard of book reading have been increasing and I have certain demand on the standard of the stories, but this book was indeed captivating. It is many reality checks for me and told me to be happy...
contentment is happiness...but how many of us can do it?
here is 1 story that truly touch the raw nerve in me:
2 bad Bricks (summary)
It may look easy to lay a brick, just a dollop of mortar underneath, a little tap here and there. When I began laying bricks, I would tap one corner down and to make it level and another corner would go up. So I would tap that corner down and the brick would move out of line. Tapping here and there, everything just does not go in place.
Being a monk I had patience, I made sure every single brick was perfect no matter how long it took. Soon, I completed my 1st brick wall. I took a step back and admire it, I realise there were 2 bricks out of place. They spoiled the whole wall.
I ask the abbot if I could knock down the wall and rebuild it. He said no, the wall had to stay.
Months after months whenever I brought visitors around, I would pass the wall as quickly as I could.I did not want anyone to see the wall.
One day, a man stop my the wall and said "a nice wall" I replied "cant you see there are 2 bad bricks there that spoil the whole wall?"
What he said changed my view, "Yes I can see the 2 bad bricks but i can see 998 good bricks as well "
For months, I only see the 2 bad bricks and I was blind to everything else that was good and wanted to even destroy it.
How many people ends a relationship or get a divorced because all they can see is the "2 bad bricks". How many of us feel so lowly of ourselves because of the "2 bad bricks in us"
That is the story I want to share its not totally the actual story. Check out the book. If you know me, you might wanna try borrowing it from me. =D
This story had strike my raw nerves and shook me up on how we have always been judging people from their "2 bad bricks". Similarly I would like everyone to see the big picture...
Years ago, I remembered a guy being condemn for his wrongdoings, and i remember how much I tried defending him saying all his vital points I believe those who heard me would already have forgiven him and be his friend...
but years later, I realize i did the same mistake the others did by condemning another guy for his wrongdoing...with this story it strike me..on my mistake..I really hope he doesn't condemn me for this mistake...
All of us are like the wall, we all have "2 bad bricks", we all are not perfect...
its just a matter of compromising...
