PhD Alumni Posts: 4414   Location: United Kingdom | Great to hear from you Jill. Take care Hugs PJ oh yes, in line with this thread ... just occurred to me the tradition that says, we should say thank you for everything that happens to us; as whatever it is, it is part of our experience of being here. Also, 'bad things'; in the words of Shakespeare's Hamlet, speaking to Horatio his friend, 'there is nothing good or bad that thinking makes it so' I remembered the quote, then the association to the tradition of gratitude came up; I think it is an ancient mystical idea, but cannot remember its' source and am too tired to check at 23.21 on a Friday night at the end of a busy week ... And yet again, who defines who is a 'good person' ? Jesus spoke against those who pray something like, 'thank God that I am not like the next person', didn't he? Noone is good, save God alone ... and sometimes it might appear that S/He [blessed be They] has a way to go ..........................  Edited by Paul Joseph 1/18/2013 5:25 PM | ||
