Re: Today's thought

a quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson: “There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.”


"Make yourself happy without hurting others, then help others be happy without hurting yourself". ~anon

One of the best ways to make yourself happy is to make other people happy;
One of the best ways to make other people happy is to be happy yourself.

It isn't what you have, or who you are, or what you are doing,
that makes you happy or unhappy on a day to day basis.

It's what you think about.

One of my fave poems:

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS
by Portia Nelson

I

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.

II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place
but, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit.
my eyes are open
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.

Art is a internal process which wishes to be observed. I don't expect it to thank me, but it gets what it wants when I pay internal attention to it.

I am glad I lived in the 1950s and 1960s.
Today Superman cannot find a phone booth.
What is Clark going to do, ask to borrow a cell phone?

Even 10 yrs. ago my battery died in downtown Portland on a weekend.
I looked and could not find a phone booth to call AAA.
Went to the Police Dept. and they were locked up but for an intercom.
The guy there said "Go away or you will be arrested".
I just asked where I could find a pay phone.

I miss Ma Bell and the old phone booths.
Superman and Dr. No would be lost today.
