Avoidance

“The aim

of the wise

is not to

secure pleasure,

but to avoid

pain.”

.

~ Aristotle

.

Sticking one’s foot into one’s mouth is a pain.

Banging one’s head against the wall is a pain.

I’ll show you, I’ll hurt myself is a pain.

Selfish, self-centered, arrogant, grandiose

and egotistical is a pain.

The pleasure does not have to be sought,

it will arrive to fill the void

after the pain has gone away.

Today, be wise, be humble,

avoid the heartaches and be happy.

Happiness is avoiding the pain.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.

The One Summit

“Each and every master,

regardless of the era

or the place,

heard the call

and attained harmony

with heaven and earth.

There are many paths

leading to the top of Mount Fuji,

but there is only one summit – love.”

.

~ Morihei Ueshib

.

To get to heaven … love.

Regardless of what you call your Higher Power

or what you choose to call your religion

or on which day you deem to be holy

or why you choose to believe that way,

know that when you die

a loving legacy

is the best thing you can leave behind.

Love is the ultimate summit.

Love is helping someone love themselves.
