"Through mindful observation and constant reflection, wisdom can develop to face any situation."

From A
Laugh 61
Toilet Paper
There were three bald-headed middle-aged men, Choon,
Gong and Ho.
They were staying in a hotel by the sea.
One day the three of them were taking a stroll along the
beach. Suddenly a seagull swooped down low and deposited
its droppings on the bald head of Gong.
Ho, being a simple good-hearted person started to run back to
the hotel saying, “Don’t worry. I will soon be back with some
toilet paper.”
Pointing at Ho running to the hotel, Choon remarked to
Gong, “This Ho is really stupid. By the time he comes back
with the toilet paper, the seagull would have flown so far
away!”
Reflection
* A person who lacks clear thinking and has
muddled-up views over matters can say or do foolish
things.
* It is unbelievable that even in a modern age, there
are loads of stupid and foolish things that so-called
educated people would say or do … due to greed,
anger, delusion and egoism.

My Room
A frustrated Japanese father was talking to his friend.
He lamented, “When I was a kid, I was disciplined by
being sent to my room and confined there without
supper or any entertainment. But in my son’s room, he
has his own colour TV, telephone, computer, air-
conditioning and hi-fi set. There is also a refrigerator so
well stocked and a microwave oven.”
“So what do you do to discipline him?” asked his friend.
“I send him to MY room!” the father said.
Reflection
* Many modern kids lead such a luxurious life and
they take things for granted. Do they realize how
much their parents have sacrificed?
* When a person grows up without any struggle,
hardship or difficulties, can he acquire virtues and
good values… can he feel for the suffering of others
and develop compassion?
