Have you ever received a gift from someone you were actually angry with?
A couple of weeks ago, someone who I was actually angry with gave me a gift. A book.
I was actually taken aback by this gift especially from this person.
Maybe this person was looking for forgiveness and knew that more good can come from my friendship so he decided to find a way to mend things with me.
So I accepted the gift and the kindness shown to me and let go off my anger towards this person. Whether this was the right think to do or not...it doesn't really matter as long in my heart; it felt good.
Now this person really knows me well enough to know that I love books so I ask myself how can I continue to fester anger in my heart for this person who actually found a way to touch my heart in a small way.
It is a little book with interesting insights...and how we should look at life.
In the introductory pages, it states:
You will meet many strange and wonderful characters in these pages- from the lofty wisdom of Lao Tzu to the often ridiculous metaphors of Chuang Tzu to the down-to-earth tales of Lien Tzu.
In between, you will meet hunchbacks, cripples, lords and servants, wise sages, and foolish seekers after the Truth. But pay attention, you may even meet yourself here.
I can't wait to see what's in store for me...
