Why we forward emails...
Sharing the forwarding email with you:
Sometimes, we wonder why?
friends keep forwarding emails to us without writing a word,
maybe this could explain:
When you are very busy,
but still want to keep in touch,
guess what you do - you forward emails!
When you have nothing to say,
but still want to keep in contact,
you forward emails!
When you have something to say,
but don't know what,
and don't know how,
you forward emails!
To let you know that:
you are still remembered,
you are still important,
you are still loved,
you are still cared for,
you are still wanted,
guess what you get?
A forwarded email from me.
So my friend, next time if you get an email,
don't think that I have sent you
just an email, but that...
I Have Thought of You Today!
Please Send This To Your Friends
To Let Them Know You're Thinking About Them.
And Don't Forget .....
Send It Back To Your Friends
Who Sent It To You To Let Them Know
You're Thinking About Them Too!

How much do I know...
The other night my kids played a silly game. They asked one another a simple question: "Do you like A or B better?" The respondent had to answer as quick as possible with no or little thinking.
Silly questions like: "Do you like blank or white better", "Do you like romance or suspense movies?"
They asked me a few questions and I gave the answers as they expected, knowing the kind of person I was and being familiar with me.
Then they posted me this question: "Do you like rice or bread better?" I was stucked, I liked them both and could not pick a choice. It took me a long time to think and said: "I am indifference to both."
Few days later I told my mom this game and question. She surprised me by telling me that;" Of course you love bread much better. You eat spoonful of rice each day, and always give your rice to others. When it comes to bread, you can keep on eating until you are full."
She is right. Her perception is so true. How little do I know about myself or I should say: how little am I aware of my self.
The moral of the story is: being with myself all my life, I understand myself so little...
There are so many blind spots with our character and personality, it is only through the eyes of others (like a mirror) that we can discover our weakness and improve our strength.

GOD exists
The other night I read a book on Bhagavadgita, the author mentioned that Bhagavad stands for GOD. G stands for Generator, O- Operator, D- Destroyer.
Generator is the force of creating/generating, Operator is the force for applying/operating, Destroyer is the force of destructing/destroying.
In certain tradition of Hinduism, Lord Krisha is the Generator, Lord Vishnu is the Operator and Lord Shiva is the Destroyer. In their temples, there are 3- storey for the 3 lords. Krisha in the upper level, Vishnu in the ground/main level, and Shiva in the underground/lower level. The 3 statuses of the 3 Lords are situated vertically in the same column on the 3 levels, they represents the 3 forms of GOD or Surpreme Being. For any being or any form that exists it will have these 3 attributes of GOD.
In this definition of the term GOD, it is the TRUTH and it always exists. Nothing with forms can escape the process of generation, operation and destruction.
