Hal sendiri tak boleh jaga tapi nak tolong lain pergi kah "Promised Land" pula.Take care of your self first,then we can think about others.When we are stuck in situations like these,its safer to spend that particular season in silence.Reflect- how did you get into this mess? It has been my observation that some people are just gifted at creating problems for themselves.I think its a natural gifting and they were just born with it.But for now,its advisable to cut the crap about helping others- just get out of your situation first.

CAUTION!!

Behind the promising,harmlessand attractive exteriors of most friendships,lies the silent and lurking serpent within.It bids it's time.But for now its all sweet smiles,warm handshakes,lengthy conversations over tea time and enjoyable flatteries and exchanging confidences.Yes,its bids its time,it does not show its face or nature yet- because circumstances are not favourable as yet.As the Serpent lies completely motionless with hardly any sign of hostility, that its victims let down their defences thinking its friendly-and harmless.As the smiling 1st Class Moron unsuspectingly relaxes,is chummy as usual,that the Serpent slowly gets ready for action. He is about to learn a lesson he will never forget for the rest of his life.

THE SECRET

The secret to a peaceful life is to mind your own business and live your own life.Never mind even if it's a shed.But its yours and thats what matters. You are not eating your bread at anyones table.Relax this rule and soon you will find some monkey on your back tearing at your hair. The Midnight Owl

THE FAMINE AND THE ASS.

THE FAMINE & THE ASS
Once upon a time there was a sore famine in the land and so all the animals of the forest held a meeting to discuss this matter. The King of the Beasts, -His Majesty the Lion chaired the meeting and spoke up first- my brothers and fellow comrades, I believe that the reason for this famine is that one of us have offended God by a terrible unpardonable sin.So there is a heavy conviction in my conscience that a confession of our heinous crimes must be made today. I for one in my hunger have torn many of my fellow citizens to death and had them for lunch, dinner, crunched their bones and squeezed out their delicious marrows for supper.There is nothing like a blood soaked meal.I am still grieving for what I have done.

Then the fox spoke out-I feel very humbled by your Majesty's honesty but I must confess that I have snatched many little lambs from their mothers arms and have had many great meals.For that I am sorrowful but I feel the real culprits are the Shephards since they were sleeping on their jobs.All the other eminences were assembled there -the tiger, bear , crocodile, snake,hyena and each in turn made their grim confession of murder, brutal killings,mutilations, rapes,cannibalism and the phythons sobbing confession of swallowing other citizens while still alive.

Then all eyes fell on the ass and the ass nervously made his confession. Well my beloved countrymen -I distinctly remember some time ago that I passed by the old farmers house who lives at the edge of the forest.I could not help noticing the lump of lovely and delicious green grass in his farm So I quietly sneaked up and grabbed a mouthful and quickly slipped away.

To this confession all the other animals shouted with one voice against the ass,screaming on top of their voices- Why you vile beast, how could you ever have the heart to do such a heinous crime against an old farmer? Surely YOU are the reason for this famine!!! And in the commotion, they tore the ass to death.
