In Adrian van Kaam’s book "The Dynamics of Spiritual Self Direction" he mentioned a very good thing about our life, he said, "Nothing in our lives is wasted. Even the negative experiences of the past can help us to prevent similar mistakes in our new life direction."
His words is one of the reasons why I have so much respect about everything. Good or bad makes up of who we are.
I saw this quote from Sir Jong’s status message and it came from Windz which is really nice and holds so much truth…
"If you want to know what’s in your heart; look at where your mind goes when it wanders."
We often hear the statement the way to heaven is narrow and the way to evil is wide. With that statement it seems more difficult to choose to do good since it is hard to do so unlike the other side that seems more convenient, pleasurable, and quick. I have that connotation and struggle too to always do only what is good until I read Bo Sanchez’s amazing two questions…
First: In the Garden of Eden, how many fruits could Adam and Eve not eat? Answer: One. And how many could they actually eat - and eat as much? Answer: Everything else.
That’s really nice, now I understood that no wonder I can find the simplest thing to be so beautiful and can give delight for my heart. Everything is good and great except one which is evil. I hope we’ll see the world as a choice of all things beautiful and we know what to avoid.
