I was wandering around in my local market and picked up a couple of cards containing writings by the Dalai Lama.

Here's what the first said... enjoy:

THE PARADOX OF OUR AGE

We have bigger houses but smaller families
more conveniences but less time
we have more degrees but less sense
more knowledge but less judgement
more experts but more problems
more medicines but less healthiness
We've been all the way to the moon and back
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour
we built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever
but have less communication
we have become long on quantity
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods
but slow digestion
Tall man but short character
steep profits but shallow relationships.
It's a time when there is much in the window
but nothing in the room.

His holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

Here's the second:

THE TRUE MEANING OF LIFE

We are visitors on this planet
We are here for ninety
on one hundred years
at the very most.
During that period
we must try to do something
good, something useful
with our lives.
If you conrtribute to other
people's happiness you will
find the true goal,
the true meaning of life.

some one sent me this today... knowing him it must be lyrics of some song, but I loved it anyway...

This isn't goodbye, even as I watch you leave, this isn't goodbye
I swear I won't cry, even as tears fill my eyes, I swear I won't cry

Any other girl, I'd let you walk away
Any other girl, I'm sure I'd be ok

Tell me what makes a man
Wanna give you all his heart
Smile when you're around
And cry when you're apart
If you know what makes a man
Wanna love you the way I do
Girl you gotta let me know
So I can get over you

What makes her so right?
Is it the sound of her laugh?
That look in her eyes
When do you decide?
She is the dream that you seek
That force in your life

When you apologize, no matter who was wrong
When you get on your knees if that would bring her home

Tell me what makes a man
Wanna give you all his heart
Smile when you're around
And cry when you're apart
If you know what makes a man
Wanna love you the way I do
Girl you gotta let me know

So that I can get over you

Other girls will come along, they always do
But what's the point when all I ever want is you, tell me

Tell me what makes a man
Wanna give you all his heart
Smile when you're around
And cry when you're apart
If you know what makes a man
Wanna love you the way I do
Girl you gotta let me know..... (let me know)
Girl you gotta let me know.....
So I can get over you
