The Two Balloons…..Entry for July 7, 2008


A Green balloon and a Blue balloon
were set free to float around sky and earth. They separated, but a year later the winds brought them together again. Instantly the Blue balloon began a long story of oppression and misfortune. “I resent getting bumped by EVERYTHING,” the long complaint ended.

The Green balloon nodded in understanding. “At first I suffered from the same bumps. Then I learned a FANTASTIC secret which may seem strange to you. I learned to not enjoy my resentment. Now, I still run into all sorts of objects but I don’t feel a thing. You see, I learned that my resentment was the bump.

    If we could see it, we are at the mercy of absolutely nothing except our own wrong thinking.

    Humans. We’ve been enjoying the pain and suffering of others since the first Neaderthal threw a rock at his friend’s head. If only he’d had a Blackberry in hand to film it!
