NM,

Your post "Full glass of milk" reminded me one of those quotes I like most. Let me post it now;

I expect to pass this world
but once
Therefore any good thing I can do or
any kindness that I can show
to a fellow human being
let me do it now
Let me not defer nor neglect it
for I shall not pass this way again

Roshan..don't know how I missed that post!! Simple and sweet

Thank you.. Scorpio, NM, Roshan for your beautiful posts.

Though, I decided many times not to visit FH due to over prevalent animosity, hubbers like you and your contributions always have brought me back.

A small story with very deep meaning..

A scorpion once wanted to cross a rivalet. It did not know swimming. So it requested a frog to carry it across on its back. Frog said " No I won't. because you will sting me and I will die".
Scorpion said " Don't worry, I won't sting you, because if I sting you I will also drown and die"
The frog agreed to carry the scorpion across the river. When the frog was midway, the scorpion stung the frog.
The frog was horrified at the unexpected attack and while drowning it asked the scorpion "Why did you do it.. I will die but you will also die along with me.."
Scorpion replied " I know it is not rational, but it is my nature to sting and I can't go against my nature".

People, with exception of a few enlightened, are like scorpions. They believe, it is their nature and they cannot change, and follow self destructive path.. They think, decide and act irrationally and destroy themselves.

Very True Shekhar!!!

and the most pathetic thing about it is that they say it out that they can never change and give many reasons for being so... without knowing that they are ruining their own wonderful time ahead...

"So if you'd like to get your things, sir, I have your seat ready for you..."

To the stewardess and to you Scorp!

We might as well dance...

Happiness is a journey... not a destination...
