The world is an echoing place. If we throw anger, anger comes back; if we give love, love comes back.
Love should not be demanding, otherwise it loses wings; it cannot fly... Love should not be conditional, one should not expect anything out of it. It should be for its own sake, not for any reward, not for any result. And just because there is no desire for any result, it does not mean that results do not happen; they do, they happen a thousand-fold, because what we give to the world comes back, it rebounds...
Everyday Osho
After reading this, I went to pick up some Thai food. I tried my best to be pleasant and kind to everyone that helped me. Vwalla, it worked! I'll try it again tomorrow. But seriously, it is pretty easy to give a smile to those handing me a wonderfully spicy meal. Sometimes it is hardest to do it toward people who are nearest and dearest to my heart...
btw I made it through my second donation yoga class tonight. It was fun. I told the story of Buddha and the cobras. All three of the students smiled when offered eye-pillows :)
