It is easy to love the people far away. It is not always easy to love those
close to us. It is easier to give a cup of rice to relieve hunger than to
relieve the loneliness and pain of someone unloved in our own home. Bring
love into your home for this is where our love for each other must start.

Mother Teresa

An Ass and a Cock were in a straw-yard together when a Lion, desperate from
hunger, approached the spot. He was about to spring upon the Ass, when the
Cock (to the sound of whose voice the Lion, it is said, has a singular
aversion) crowed loudly, and the Lion fled away as fast as he could. The
Ass, observing his trepidation at the mere crowing of a Cock summoned
courage to attack him, and galloped after him for that purpose. He had run
no long distance, when the Lion, turning about, seized him and tore him to
pieces.
False confidence often leads into danger.
-Aesop’s Fables

One young lion asked his mom..
"Where is happiness?"

"On your tail.."

So the young lion spent the whole day tired, chasing after his tail..


"Son, you don't have to chase after your happiness..
Just keep moving forward and your happiness will follow."

"Pray, pray to the Lord with me, because the whole world needs prayer. And
every day , when your heart especially feels the loneliness of life, pray.
Pray to the Lord, because even God needs our prayers.”

St. Pio of Pietrelcina
