Love Now!!

Death can come at any minute, in any way.

We do not know what is in store tomorrow,

or, whether there is a tomorrow,

or even a tonight!

But still, we have the golden present.

Now we are alive and kicking.

What should we do now?

Love all, serve all.

Why it's Bad to Complain

“See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought about a situation you find yourself in. What other people say or do... your life situation, even the weather. For to complain is always non-acceptance of what is and it invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. So when you complain you make yourself a victim. Either leave the situation, change the situation or accept it.”
