::you're my saving grace ::

Been a week since the holidays started. Well, spending the time besides rotting at home and went swimming, I've done lots of thinking about my life and reflecting my thoughts about it! All that happens in our life be it whether is happiness or suffering, it all comes from our thinking. That's the morale of a short story I heard over the radio.
This man was at the desert looking for something to drench his thirst, he was so thirsty that he did not have the energy to walk, instead he just crawled to look for something. By night, feeling frustrated and on the verge of dying, he suddenly felt something, it felt like a cup with water in it, so glad, he quickly gulped the liquid down his throat, then he felt there are more cups beside it, so he finshed it up. Satisfied, he fell asleep. The next day, he woke up and saw something that makes him cannot believe his eyes. The 'cup' was actually a skull of a baby wolf and the 'liquid' was the blood of it. He immediately tried to throw out everything that he drank last night. So isn't our thinking that causes suffering?
