Awareness: Will I be of Help?
Here’s another excerpt
that really struck me.
It may not be true for all.
Others may deny.
Yet, others could admit.
This may be a matter of perspective…
or a matter of confronting oneself.
In my case, I could very much resonate.
"Hey guys, help me up!"
because you are in love with them?
Well, I've got news for you.
You are never in love with anyone.
You're only in love with your prejudiced and hopeful idea of that person.
Take a minute to think about that:
You are never in love with anyone,
you're in love with your prejudiced idea of that person.
Isn't that how you fall out of love?
Your idea changes, doesn't it?
you say to someone.
You never trusted anyone. Come off it!
That's part of society's brainwashing.
You never trust anyone.
You only trust your judgment about that person.
So what are you complaining about?
"My judgment was lousy."
So you prefer to say, "How could you have let me down?"
So there it is: People don't really want to grow up,
people don't really want to change,
people don't really want to be happy.
"Don't try to make them happy,
you'll only get in trouble.
Don't try to teach a pig to sing;
it wastes your time and it irritates the pig."
sits down, and sees this fellow
with a banana in his ear - a banana in his ear!
And he thinks, "I wonder if I should mention that to him.
No, it's none of my business."
But the thought nags at him.
So after having a drink or two, he says to the fellow,
"Excuse me, ah, you've got a banana in your ear."
The fellow says, "What?"
The businessman repeats, "You've got a banana in your ear. "
Again the fellow says, "What was that?"
"You've got a banana in your ear!" the businessman shouts.
"Talk louder," the fellow says,
"I've got a banana in my ear!"
"Give up, give up, give up," I say to myself.
Say your thing and get out of here.
And if they profit, that's fine,
and if they don't, too bad!
