A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

Jokes - Never argue with kids..

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him".

A Kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they drew. She would occasionally walk around to see each
child's work. As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was?
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God." The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."
_______________________________________________________________
The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture. "Just think how nice
it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer; she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael. He's a doctor.'"
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher. She's dead."

A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood. Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the
blood, as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Ye! s," the class said. "Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet aren't empty."

The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples. The nun made a note, and
posted on the apple tray: "Take only ONE. God is watching." Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of
chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."

A nice article from Swami Vivekananda
I would like to share something on the 'nature of love'. I
once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we
were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of
her hand with a little water and held it before me, and said
this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It
symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: "As long as you keep
your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will
always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers
round it and try to posses it, it will spill through the first
cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do
when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they
expect... and just like the water spilling out of your hand,
Love will retrieve! from you. For love is meant to be free, you
cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to
befree beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order.
Ask,but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson
that may take a lifetime to truly practice. It is the secret to
true love. To truly practice it, you must sincerely feel no
expectations from those who you love, and yet an unconditional
caring."
Passing thought...
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by
the moments that take our breath away.
