LIFE THOUGHTS BY DUCKY

Marriage changes passion.       
Suddenly you're in bed with

a relative.

I saw a woman wearing a                                                                                         sweat shirt with 'Guess' on it.                                                                                       So I said                                                                                               'Implants?'                                                                                              She hit me.

How come we choose from
just two people to run for president and 

over fifty for Miss America ?

Now that food has replaced
sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

I signed up for an exercise
class and 

was told to wear loose fitting clothing.

 If I HAD any loose fitting clothing, 

I wouldn't have signed up in the first place!

When I was young we used to go 

'skinny dipping,

' now I just 'chunky dunk.'

Don't argue with an idiot;
people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Wouldn't you know it....
Brain cells come and brain
        cells go, but FAT cells live forever.

Why is it that our children
        can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
A completely brilliant question!!!

Bumper sticker of the year:   
'If you can read this, thank a teacher - and, since it's in
        English, thank a soldier'

Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court 

when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?
Another completely brilliant question!!!

Wouldn't it be nice if
        whenever we messed up our life 

we could simply press 'Ctrl Alt Delete'
and start all over?

AMEN, AMEN!

Why is it that our children
        can't read a Bible in school, but they can in prison?
A completely brilliant question!!!

Wouldn't you know it....
Brain cells come and brain
        cells go, but FAT cells live forever.

Why do I have to swear on the Bible in court 

when the Ten Commandments cannot be displayed outside?
Another completely brilliant question!!!

And remember:  

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. 

The closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

JEALOUSY IS NOTHING BUT DEEP DISCONTENTMENT ABOUT YOURSELF

Jealousy is nothing but deep discontentment about yourself. when you want to become what you are not then Jealousy is. Jealousy stems from greek root word which also means “yeast or being rotten”.

Jealousy is comparison. And we have been taught to compare, we have been conditioned to compare, always compare. Somebody else has a better house, somebody else has a more beautiful body, somebody else has more money, somebody else has a more charismatic personality.

Compare, go on comparing yourself with everybody else you pass by, and great jealousy will be the outcome; it is the by-product of the conditioning for comparison. Otherwise, if you drop comparing, jealousy disappears. Then you simply know you are you, and you are nobody else, and there is no need. It is good that you don’t compare yourself with trees, otherwise you will start feeling very jealous: why are you not green? And why has God been so hard on you — and no flowers? It is better that you don’t compare with birds, with rivers, with mountains; otherwise you will suffer. You only compare with human beings, because you have been conditioned to compare only with human beings; you don’t compare with peacocks and with parrots. Otherwise, your jealousy would be more and more: you would be so burdened by jealousy that you would not be able to live at all. Comparison is a very foolish attitude, because each person is unique and incomparable.

Once this understanding settles in you, jealousy disappears. Each is unique and incomparable. You are just yourself: nobody has ever been like you, and nobody will ever be like you. And you need not be like anybody else, either. God creates only originals; he does not believe in carbon copies. But why does the idea of the other enter in your head in the first place? Again let me remind you: because you have not allowed your own juices to flow; you have not allowed your own blissfulness to grow, you have not allowed your own being to bloom. Hence you feel empty inside, and you look at each and everybody’s outside because only the outside can be seen.

You know your interiority, and only you know it, nobody else. And you know everybody’s exterior, and their exterior people have made beautiful. Exteriors are showpieces and they are very deceptive. Because of jealousy you are in constant suffering; you become mean to others. And because of jealousy you start becoming phony, because you start pretending.

You start pretending things that you don’t have, you start pretending things which you can’t have, which are not natural to you. You become more and more artificial. Imitating others, competing with others, what else can you do? If somebody has something and you don’t have it, and you don’t have a natural possibility of having it, the only way is to have some cheap substitute for it.

The jealous man lives in hell. Drop comparing and jealousy disappears, meanness disappears, phoniness disappears. But you can drop it only if you start growing your inner treasures; there is no other way.

Grow up, become a more and more authentic individual. Love yourself and respect yourself the way God has made you, and then immediately the doors of heaven open for you. They were always open, you had simply not looked at them.

GOLDEN SENTENCES

વાંચો અને વંચાવો જીવનમાં ઉતારો

ભૂલો કઈ રીતે થઈ તે સમજવામાં જેટલો સમય વેડફાય છે

આપણે એવું નહીં વિચારવું કે ભગવાન અમારા શુભ ફળ તરત કેમ નથી આપતા,

બલકે ભગવાનનો આભાર માનો, કે આપણને ભૂલની સજા તરત નથી આપતા.

એ જ પૈસો જયારે જાય છે ત્યારે એકલો જ જતો રહે છે

પરંતુ..,પેલું ખર્ચનું લશ્કર મૂકતો જાય છે.

પરંતુ.., "અદેખાઈ" માં પડેલો માનવી ક્યારેય ઉપર આવી શકતો નથી  ..........

તમે નિષ્ફળ થાવનો પ્રયત્ન કરો અને સફળ થઇ જાઓ,

તો તમે સફળ થયા કહેવાય, કે નિષ્ફળ થયા કહેવાય?????

દરિયો સમજે છે કે મારી પાસે પાણી અપાર છે,

પણ એ ક્યાં જાણે છે કે, આ તો નદીએ આપેલો પ્રેમ ઉધાર છે....
