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.
I used to go to the Temple with my mother . The temple had stairs.
I used to ask her why can't they build the temple on the ground? Why do you have to climb the stairs each and everyday?
*The excellent answer by mother.*
You need to rise above your level to reach God.
Each step of the stairs is a reminder that you are rising above your level in terms of your envy, greed, anger, ego and all evil parts of your life.
It also suggests that you have to climb the steps one by one, you can't just jump off from first step to the last step.
That is the cycle of life, once you conquer these aspects, you reach towards your inner core self........
