A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,’Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like.’ The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table.

But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering.
The Lord said, ‘You have seen Hell.’ They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man’s mouth water.

“Yes”, I replied.

I gave them light.

“Cát bụi”, Trịnh Công Sơn.
Hạt bụi nào hóa kiếp thân tôi
Để một mai vươn hình hài lớn dậy
Ôi cát bụi tuyệt vời
Mặt trời soi một kiếp rong chơi
Hạt bụi nào hóa kiếp thân tôi
Để một mai tôi về làm cát bụi
Ôi cát bụi mệt nhoài
Tiếng động nào gõ nhịp không nguôi

“… It is improtant to know what experiences to put your faith in. If you have an unpleasant experience, have faith that you will learn something new, useful or productive. When you have a pleasant or productive experience, have faith that you can duplicate the experience and make it better. Have faith that your mind and heart will always be open to bigger, better experiences than those you already had… “
- No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
- God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain. But he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.
- Disappointments are like road bumps. They slow you down a bit, but you’ll enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
- When something happens to you, bad or good, consider what it means.
- YOu can’t make someone love you. All you can do is being someone who can be loved. The rest is up to the person to realize your worth.
- It’s better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one you love because of the pride.
