Another quotes of the day..

"We would think a man insane who, instead of covering his house with a roof and putting windows in his window frames, goes out in stormy weather, and scolds the wind, the rain, and the clouds. But we all do the same when we scold and blame the evil in other people instead of fighting the evil which exists in us. It is possible to get rid of the evil inside of us, as it is possible to make a roof and windows for our house. This is possible. But it is not possible for us to destroy evil in this world, just as we cannot order the weather to change and the clouds to disappear. If, instead of teaching others, we would educate and improve ourselves, then there would be less evil in this world, and all people would live better lives.

Do not be embarrassed by your mistakes. Nothing can teach us better than our understanding of them. This is one of the best ways of self-education."
- THOMAS CARLYLE

"When people wanted to kill a bear in the ancient times, they hung a heavy log over a bowl of honey. The bear would push the log away in order to eat the honey. The log would swing back and hit the bear. The bear would become irritated and push the log even harder, and it would return and hit him harder in return. This would continue until the log killed the bear. People behave in the same way when they return evil for the evil they receive from other people. Can't people be wiser than bears?

You should respond with kindess toward evil done to you, and you will destroy in an evil person that pleasure which he derives from evil.

The true teaching of love is strong; it kills evil before evil can grow and beome powerful."

Read the same book again yesterday and only have the time today to write. Find these two quotes to be very meaningful and necessary. Hatred often occupies a certain portion in our hearts. Many often, when we do not sit down peacefully and reflect calmly with rationality, we are often blindfolded by the truth of evil. As a result, as the saying goes,"an eye for an eye" or at worst situations, "few eyes for an eye". It is tough to forgive and forget and it is tough to refrain ourselves from taking our so-called revenge.

This is human nature. Or I should say,

This is the animalistic nature in humans.

Anyway, lucky thing i managed to contact one of my frens who is from hk. Have very urgent important stuff to ask.
