Today, I thought I might continue the philosophy enlightenment cycle I planned to continue, seeing as it could both ''enlighten'' my life and yours :)
This story is also from my Philosophy Book, it's one of my favourites because it proves a point in a clear and simple way - no fuss whatsoever. This is a famous zen story ------>
A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her.
The senior monk carried this woman on his shoulder, forded the river and let her down on the other bank. The junior monk was very upset, but said nothing.
They both were walking and senior monk noticed that his junior was suddenly silent and enquired “Is something the matter, you seem very upset?”
The junior monk replied, “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”
The senior monk replied, “I left the woman a long time ago at the bank, however, you seem to be carrying her still.”
I don't think I'm in a position to tell you guys how you should interpret these things. WORDS AND LITERATURE IS YOURS TO INTERPRET!!! Understand it how you want to and express what you feel.
Part 2: Hazy Days
It's highly unlikely that I am alone in this world with this feeling, but falling in love with someone or even liking someone makes me feel crazy. Anything I do in front of the person seems wrong for no particular reason. I watch him doing pretty much everything, and I guess this is just the feeling of fascination, the wanting to unravel the mysterious bubble around him. He's older - 3 years, and I keep telling myself that I have to face the facts. I'm too young for him, he probably doesn't even know my name ;( At the exactly same moment, the optimistic/fighty part of my brain disagrees and I end up just liking him more and more. The realisation is horrible, but the special even unique feeling inside when I see him makes me smile so much that I can't control myself. Butterflies in my stomach, never feeling hungry; you could say that this ''love'' for him is feeding me :)
I realised I need to stop writing this because a) it's boring for you guys and b) I would never be able to finish... I could go on for eternity;)
P.S. Here are some love related quotes I found <3333333
