About sharing the good (I HOPE)
[email protected]
"If an experience is delightful or pleasant, usually we want to grab it and
make it last. We're afraid that it will end. We're not inclined to share
it. The lojong teachings encourage us, if we enjoy what we are experiencing,
to think of other people and wish for them to feel that. Share the wealth.
Be generous with your joy. Give away what you most want. Be generous with
your insights and delights. Instead of fearing that they're going to slip
away and holding on to them, share them." --Pema Chodron, from _Start
Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living_
I quoted that to go with <<<< Gramma said when you come on something good,
first thing to do is share it with whoever you can find; that way, the good
spreads out where no telling it will go. Which is right. >> and I'm sorry
my first two attempts were prematurely launched.
