Zen Pencils by Gavin Aung Than for August 21, 2023

There but for the grace of God, go I

The homeless guy here seems to be the lucky one. At least, in the real world, his problem can be reasonably easily fixed.

Business suit guy needs a lot more help.

Tim has some deep thoughts on many things. My favourite of his is the Pope Song. You can find it on You Tube. I would caution it is probably rated R for language. But, it is a good one.

Never judge another till you journey on their path. And remember….we are all on the same journey.

An unexamined life turns to garbage. Opinions are like the endpoint of fermenting grapes: they can become wine or vinegar.

Saw a short movie a few years back. A beggar is asking a man in a suit for help. The man in a suit says, “Get a Job.” and walks into a nearby elevator. The elevator gets stuck. After the man gets over panicking. The door opens slightly and a bottle of wine is rolled into the elevator. This continues for about 30 days. Than, the elevator opens. The man stumbles into the street looking like the average bum. He goes to a man in a suit who says, “Get a Job,” The new bum falls to his knees and shouts, “NOOOO!”.

Bit tricky examining your core beliefs; what foundation do you stand on while you’re doing the judging?
