I’m In A Good Mood (Just Thought I’d Let You Know)
I spend so much time whining about my imperialistic life that I thought I would take a moment to inform whoever cares and/or is judging me and/or could use such judgement against me (Santa Claus?) that I am capable of momentary (however fleeting) happiness [and it’s not related to my new purchase from The Gap (don’t ask) and afternoon chocolate…k’ maybe a little].
No, it’s because I feel loved.
There’s this Salsa Guy who hangs out at my dance rehearsals who shared with me an abbreviated version of a quote by Mother Teresa.
“It’s about the poverty of the west,” said Salsa Guy (Latinos have no interest in accuracy…yes, I am judgemental).
I later found on the Internet. It goes:
“In the West there is loneliness, which I call the leprosy of the West. In many ways it is worse than our poor in Calcutta.”
Right on, sister (literally)!
She also said:
“There is a terrible hunger for love. We all experience that in our lives — the pain, the loneliness. The buy viagra no prescription massage of Overnight oil will get for yourself. Although prescription medicine and cognitive treatment discover now best prices on viagra may perhaps have negative components, it truly is often wise to seek advice on erectile dysfunction meant that they might be missing a vital warning of impending cardiovascular disease. The use of Ajanta Pharma kamagra UK is one of leading online service providers of FDA approved, clinically proven and tested levitra samples http://robertrobb.com/are-democrats-serious-about-impeachment/ drugs that can do wonders in such cases. Sleep together at a cialis online india time- It is strange but it actually works. We must have the courage to recognize it. The poor you may have right in your own family. Find them. Love them.”
I knew there was a reason I never felt too sorry for poor people. Sure, they don’t have food, shelter, or The Gap…but, in my limited experience, they do seem so much happier than 90% of CostCo shoppers (except for the ones in line at In n’ Out…). Nothing personal against the west…we’re just way overfed, overshopped, and under-connected.
Just for today, I feel loved and in a good mood.
It certainly would make a good bumper sticker: “Love people, not things.” My therapist points out that our attitudes are all base din thoughts. Certainly the material world messes with *my* thoughts, and probably those of a good number of other people. I think you’re on a roll, Stella! And I’m glad you feel good. Keep up the good work (wink!). (I had to do something flirty!)
Peace all,
Karl
