5 Minute Mojo

There will come a day when the entire world knows peace.  It may be right around the corner or hundreds of years from now.  Regardless of when it is, it flourishes when people speak kindly with one and other.  This goes for enemies as well as families and friends.  Today, I talk about peace, with wisdom supplied by the Buddha. Come listen. Question of the Day When was the last time you raised your voice?  What did you hope to accomplish by doing so? Did you? Is it possible to gain respect of others by speaking softly, kindly? What is the nature of your speech? Does it create a sense of calm. What is your volume, tone and speed like? THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Utopia is such a trap of a word.  Many people feel that it is the absence of any crime, corruption or pollution.  But Lao-Tzu encourages you to see the beauty in even the darkest squalor.  It is your eyes that behold Utopia, not the vista before the rest of the world.
