A Nice Article about Love


A Nice Article about Love

by Swami Vivekananda


I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were
sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with
some water and held it before me, and said this:
"You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love."

This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow
it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to
close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the
first cracks it finds.

This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try
to posses it, they  demand, they expect... and just like the water spilling
out of your hand, love will retrieve from you .

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are
people you love, allow them to be free beings.

Give and don't expect.
Advise, but don't order.
Ask, but never demand.

It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly
practice. It is the secret to true love. To truly practice it, you must
sincerely feel no expectations from those who you love, and yet an
unconditional caring."

Passing thought... Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take;
but by the moments that take our breath away.....

Life is beautiful!!!  Live it !!!

more movie cliches

Can't get into the house? Don't worry! There's always the spare key under the welcome mat. When a kid's dog runs away, it's usually been picked up by a mean bad guy. At the end of the movie, there will be a contest between the kid and the mean bad guy to see who gets to keep the dog. The dog is put in the middle of the two characters and they both have to call it at the same time. The one who the dog runs to gets to keep it. The dog will always start to go to the bad guy, but at the last second will go to the kid. If the bad guys don't steal (or get paid with) money, they steal bearer bonds and they always remind everyone that they are untracable. The villain will almost always kidnap the hero's woman in an atempt to destroy the hero's heart and spirit, but instead it gives him the will to go on and ends up being the villain's downfall, or the woman he kidnaps will end up defeating him. Any kind of music in a club, at a dance, etc, always has a bac...

men & women!!

What is the difference between men and women?   1. A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.   2. Men wake up as good-looking as when they went to bed. Women somehow deteriorate during the night.   3. A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he wants. A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't want.   4. A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't. A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, and she does.   5. There are two times when a man doesn't understand a woman- before and after marriage.   6. A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.   7. To be happy with a man, you must understand him a lot and love him a little. To be happy with a woman, you must love her a lot and not try to understand her at all.   8. Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no...
