"Casting our minds across the whole world, we find no one as distinctly dear as ourselves. Likewise, others hold dearly their own individual lives. Therefore, if we care for the distinct vales of our own life, we should not harm others, for they too feel the same."
The Buddha.
I decided to simply interpret this as - if everyone is simply nice to the people around us, and every one had that attitude accross the world, we'd be a lot better off. Because it hurts my brain to think any further about it. But I WAS nice to everyone around me, I think.
And I started my meagre training tonight. Neither Spook or I could be bothered to drive back into to town for the Athletic Clubs night run up to the Vitrified Fort, and he had been out for a tough hill run with a friend earlier, so we were both happy to take a moon-lit run along the canal for what was probably almost a 4 mile 'jog'. It was nice to chat and the canal was like glass.
Finn went to rugby training for the 2nd time this week, and Meg, with her new found confidence in the house, stayed at home to bake a cake for her friends birthday.
Finn has been asking for chicken Kiev all week and he finally got it tonight as I didn't have time to cook anything more healthy. And to prove the quote about satisfying one desire and replacing it very quickly with another, he said "When can we have waffles?"
