Awareness



When Gandhi was studying law at the University
College of London, a professor, whose last name was
Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed
prejudice and animosity towards him.
Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when
addressing him as he expected, there were always
"arguments" and confrontations.
One day, Mr. Peters was having lunch at the dining
room of the University, and Gandhi came along with
his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor
said, "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a
bird do not sit together to eat."
Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child
and calmly replied, "You do not worry professor. I'll
fly away," and he went and sat at another table.
Mr. Peters, reddened with rage, decided to take
revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi
responded brilliantly to all questions.
Mr. Peters, unhappy and frustrated, asked him the
following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking
down the street and found a package, and within was
a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of
money, which one would you take?" Without hesitating,
Gandhi responded,"The one with the money, of course."
Mr. Peters , smiling sarcastically said, "I, in your
place, would have taken the wisdom, don't you think?"
Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded, "Each
one takes what he doesn't have."
Mr. Peters, by this time was fit to be tied. So great
was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet
the word "..." and gave it to Gandhi.
Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his
desk,trying very hard to remain calm while he
contemplated his next move.
A few minutes later, Gandhi got up, went to the
professor and said to him in a dignified but
sarcastically polite tone, "Mr. Peters, you signed the
sheet, but you did not give me the grade."
MORALS
Staying sane and calm on the face of great insult and
annoying provocation is your major step towards
wining whatever may be staring your face.. Anger is
partial Insanity. You can only figure out superior
route out of the problem when your senses are intact..
Indeed Wisdom is Stronger than weapons of war..
Everyman takes what he dosent have! Stay away
From partial Insanity!

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' ... She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' The la...
