Without imagination there is no goodness, no wisdom.”
Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach

Get acquainted with your imagination. We all have one. We could even use it to solve simple problems around the house or office. Using it does not have to be a “big thing.”

Just stop. Wait. And then look at the same problem from a different perspective.

Some people are into self sabotage, they treat themselves poorly and so others too. Actually almost everyone is into self sabotage on some level, and this is, I think, the main thing that needs to be cured in 'cultivation'.

The saying is meaningless to the extent that everyone already does it all the time, it's unavoidable, it's karma which happens right now each moment, it can't really be turned off except momentarily. People who treat themselves badly will treat others badly and vice versa.

We tend to trust that people have good intentions and for the most part that is true. There are moments though we meet some that are not quite tuned in to their goodness.

66. Fools of little wit are enemies unto themselves as they move about doing evil deeds, the fruits of which are bitter.

"All I suggest is that a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest."


Paul Simon
 
"love and you will be open

seek and you will find

wisdom is found in the simplist of places

in the nick of time"
