i went to buddhist temple today and the nun was teaching about compassion
she said that we shouldn't rely on other people and things to find happiness because they will always disappoint us... they have their own lessons to learn in life, and can only be with us to teach us the lessons they were meant to teach, and then they have to move on
she also taught about love... it is easiest to love people when they are making us happy, but the true test is loving them when they don't deserve it
we meditated
we chanted
i left
i really enjoy going there and this was my second week going. i feel good in knowing that i can create the happiness that i want to get out of life, and i am very excited. sometimes i get sad, but i move past it reasonably quickly. i don't want to be sad anymore because it keeps me in the past. i appreciate everything that has happened to me for the beautiful things i have learned, and now i'm ready to move forward.
these are just some of the things that i think when i'm alone, and how i plan to behave now that i've wised up...
love

i have a rasputina song stuck in my head and i just need to share:
Do you believe in the signs of the zodiac?
Haven't you found that the systems for
Planning always fail?
Can you avoid what gave daddy his heart attack?
Have you tried everything, anything
All to no avail?
I know what you need.
This will really work.
In anciet times, if you were sick
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.
Look all around you and notice you're not alone.
We want to give the courage to
Go a different way.
Think of the love and attention we all have shown.
What did we do when we heard,well, we
All came right away.
I know what you need.
This will really work.
In ancient times, if you were sick
They make you bleed.
Oh, honey I know it hurts.
