Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
Every morning this dog, very attached to me,
Quietly keeps sitting near my seat
Til touching its head
I recognize its company.
This recognition gives it so much joy.
Pure delight ripples through the entire body.
Among all dumb creatures
it is the only living being
That has seen the whole man
Beyond what is good or bad in him.
It has seen,
For his love it can sacrifice its life.
It can love him too for the sake of love alone,
For it is he who shows the way
To the vast world pulsating with life.
When I see its deep devotion,
The offer of its whole being,
I fail to understand
By its sheer instinct
What truth it has discovered in man.
By its silent anxious piteous looks
it cannot communicate what it understands,
But it has succeeded in conveying to me
Among the whole creation
What is the true status of man.
