sukha and dukha

Shirly was sharing with me about sukha and duhka many months back. A conversation on making wise decision and how our decision that we acted upon can affect us and the people around us. Each of us contains a ball of great energy that radiates, our thoughts, actions and speech ripples from inside out.

Yesterday, i received an emailer written by Ekthan Easawaran, a short and sweet notes on sukha ( please, comfort, bliss) and duhka ( pain, sufferings, unsettled) that i would like to share it here:)


"As human beings, we have been born with the capacity to make choices. No other creature has this capacity, and no human being can avoid this responsibility. Every day, whether we see it or not, we have a choice of two alternatives in what we do, say, and think.

These alternatives are: what is pleasant and what is beneficial. The first pleases us now. The second may be unpleasant at the beginning, as anyone who has begun a physical fitness program knows; but it will improve our health and contribute to our peace of mind.

Both choices promise satisfaction. One we get immediately, but it comes and goes; the other requires effort, but its benefits stay with us and often benefit those around us as well."


Instead of making a smart decision, why not a wise one?
