~*Buddhism*~


"It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell."Buddha
Don't laugh at what you are about to read from this sentence on.First thing first.I chanced upon this quote as I was reading up on buddhist teachings and thought it to be a really meaningful quote to keep in mind.It does make some sense doesn't it?

Now this is the part where you should avoid laughing.I find myself being drawn to the teachings of buddhism lately.I surf the net to read up,take note of the interesting quotes among the lessons and find myself having the urge to just change.To turn over a new leaf.Not that I am some bad,despicable character now.I just have that feeling inside me to step up and be a better person as a human being.Sounds funny coming from my mouth right?The one who claims she is not "holy holy" is actually talking about wanting to change after reading up on Buddhism and its teachings.

What has come over me?Haha..one minute I think I have matured overnight,the next,I feel a need to be a good person.The calling?Hmm?Hahahaha..oh man,Life can be one big question mark at times.Do not be surprised if one day I come up to you and say I am quitting my studies to join the monks at the himalyan mountains.Seriously,do not be.With all these chaos growing in the world,I really wish I could just strip myself off all these mayhem and scream"SCREW YOU STUPID WORLD AND YOUR STUPID WAR AND DISASTERS"and then retreat into the wilderness and have a peaceful life with nature.Hehe..Hmm.?

Dreams do come true right?Lets see.Like what a wise friend used to tell me back in seondary school "Let nature take its own cause" ;).Right.
Who knows what the future holds.
