55 on an ugly moment

She made me say a mean thing to her.
I suppose I might just be being a jerk,
might just be blaming the victim here.
But I was giving
and giving
and acknowledging
and agreeing
and conceding
and still she had to go
and say
THAT.
So I was mean.
And then we both cried.

55

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an impure mind
And the trouble will follow you
As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.

We are what we think.
All that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak or act with an pure mind
And the happiness will follow you
As your shadow unshakeable.

"look how he abuse me and beat me
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.

"look how he abuse me and beat me
How he threw me down and robbed me."
Abandon such thoughts and you live in love.

In this world
Hate never yet dispelled hate.
This is the law,
Ancient and inexhaustible.

You too shall pass away.
Knowing this how can you quarrel?

Mona,

The vastness of the truth you have written amazes me. It is a truth that I know and recognize, and yet one which seems to elude me at the most critical moments.

Thank you dearly!

G,

Hey, who said it was personal? Maybe I just completely made it up ...
