Acid: Love that Shakespeare quote! Judith: so true-big blue test.
A story really, but putting it here anyway LOL
Lord Buddha was visited by a learned man. This man started insulting Buddha and continued doing so for a long time. Buddha showed no emotion. This made the man angry and asked Buddha why he remained unaffected. Buddha said to him " Sir, you are trying to give me something and if I do not want to take it, how can I have any joy or sorrow about it." If people insult us, it is up to us to accept the insult or not do so.
To dream of the person you want to be… is to waste the person you are.
