REMEMBER THE LOTUS FLOWER
by කිත්සිරි ද සිල්වා on Mon Apr 18, 2016 4:59 pm
Great people will always be mocked by those
Who feel smaller than them.
A lion does not flinch at laughter coming from a hyena.
A gorilla does not budge from a banana thrown at it by a monkey.
A nightingale does not stop singing its beautiful song
At the intrusion of an annoying woodpecker.
Whenever you should doubt your self-worth, remember the lotus flower.
Even though it plunges to life from beneath the mud,
It does not allow the dirt that surrounds it
To affect its growth or beauty.
Be that lotus flower always.
Do not allow any negativity or ugliness
In your surroundings
Destroy your confidence,
Affect your growth,
Or make you question your self-worth.
It is very normal for one ugly weed
to not want to stand alone.
Remember this always.
If you were ugly,
Or just as small as they feel they are,
Then they would not feel so bitter and envious
Each and every time they are forced
To glance up at magnificently
Divine YOU.”

Well Said.
UGC should adopt " Only One Strike and you are Out of the Game" policy, if they want to stop this menace.

This post is from a Turkish guy living in Sri Lanka :
Today I went to Arpico (a big supermarket in Colombo near my office) to buy supplies to send to flood victims. Water, dry rations etc. whatever I could afford. Being from a country that is quite often plagued by natural or man made disasters which require help to be sent, I expected the same view of people in the non-affected areas continuing their lives regularly. As soon as I entered I saw the huge lines at the cashiers points. People buying many shopping carts filled with water, milk powder, bread, diapers, rice, etc. There were maximum 4-5 people doing just their personal shopping and they were hard to spot in the huge crowd that was there to buy things for the people in need. I got teared up. I have never seen such a view in Turkey or anywhere else I have lived in. I would have never expected such a view in Sri Lanka where the average salary is less than the minimum wage in Turkey. I can't say my faith in humanity was restored but I just realized once again, Sri Lankan people, regardless of some bad seeds, are just amazing and helpful people. I am happy and lucky to be living amongst them. I hope the helpfulness here will rub on to many more people around the world.
