A Tribute To Mother Theresa - I Remember


People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered...
Forgive them anyway

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives...
Be kind anyway

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies...
Succeed anyway

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you...
Be honest and frank anyway

What you may spend years building, someone may destroy overnight...
Build anyway

If you find serenity and happiness, people may be jealous...
Be happy anyway

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow...
Do good anyway

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough...
Give the world the best you have anyway

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God...
it was never between you and them anyway


By Mother Theresa

But, i got a question which does not related to what you had written. Do you think happiness is a kind of suffering?

Hi. Happiness is a positive emotion resulting from external circumstances which may or may not be related to what the person has done. I say it is a postive emotion because happiness is scientifically known to trigger bio-chemical releases from within the body which helps the body to fight off bad germs.
So, i don;t think happiness is a kind of suffering.
However, i do not encourage anyone to actively pursue happiness because i don't think being happy is the chief aim in life.
