The international food shortage

Recently, a worldwide survey was conducted and the only question asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about the solution to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was, not surprisingly, a huge failure. Because:

In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.

In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.

And, in the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

The secret of happiness

A certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for 40 days, and finally came upon a beautiful castle, high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived.

Rather than finding a saintly man, though, our hero, on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity: tradesmen came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of the world. The wise man conversed with everyone, and the boy had to wait for two hours before it was his turn to be given the man's attention.

The wise man listened attentively to the boy's explanation of why he had come, but told him that he didn't have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.

"Meanwhile, I want to ask you to do something", said the wise man, handing the boy a teaspoon that held two drops of oil. "As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill".

The boy began climbing and descending the many stairways of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was.

"Well", asked the wise man, "Did you see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? Did you see the garden that it took the master gardener ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchments in my library?"

The boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.

"Then go back and observe the marvels of my world", said the wise man. "You cannot trust a man if you don't know his house".

Relieved, the boy picked up the spoon and returned to his exploration of the palace, this time observing all of the works of art on the ceilings and the walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around him, the beauty of the flowers, and the taste with which everything had been selected. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in detail everything he had seen.

"But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you?" asked the wise man. Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.

"Well, there is only one piece of advice I can give you", said the wisest of wise men. "The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never to forget the drops of oil on the spoon".

Contentment by Oliver Wendell Holmes

Contentment

"Man wants but little here below"

Little I ask; my wants are few;

I only wish a hut of stone,

(A very plain brown stone will do,)

That I may call my own;

And close at hand is such a one,

In yonder street that fronts the sun.

Plain food is quite enough for me;

Three courses are as good as ten;

If Nature can subsist on three,

Thank Heaven for three. Amen!

I always thought cold victual nice;

My choice would be vanilla-ice.

I care not much for gold or land;

Give me a mortgage here and there,

Some good bank-stock, some note of hand,

Or trifling railroad share,

I only ask that Fortune send

A little more than I shall spend.

Honors are silly toys, I know,

And titles are but empty names;

I would, perhaps, be Plenipo,

But only near St. James;

I'm very sure I should not care

To fill our Gubernator's chair.

Jewels are baubles; 't is a sin

To care for such unfruitful things;

One good-sized diamond in a pin,

Some, not so large, in rings,

A ruby, and a pearl, or so,

Will do for me; - I laugh at show.

My dame should dress in cheap attire;

(Good, heavy silks are never dear;)

I own perhaps I might desire

Some shawls of true Cashmere,

Some marrowy crapes of China silk,

Like wrinkled skins on scalded milk.

I would not have the horse I drive

So fast that folks must stop and stare;

An easy gait - two forty-five

Suits me; I do not care;

Perhaps, for just a single spurt,

Some seconds less would do no hurt.

Of pictures, I should like to own

Titians and Raphaels three or four,

I love so much their style and tone,

One Turner, and no more,

(A landscape, - foreground golden dirt,

The sunshine painted with a squirt.)

Of books but few, - some fifty score

For daily use, and bound for wear;

The rest upon an upper floor;

Some little luxury there

Of red morocco's gilded gleam

And vellum rich as country cream.

Busts, cameos, gems, such things as these,

Which others often show for pride,

I value for their power to please,

And selfish churls deride;

One Stradivarius, I confess,

Two Meerschaums, I would fain possess.

Wealth's wasteful tricks I will not learn,

Nor ape the glittering upstart fool;

Shall not carved tables serve my turn,

But all must be of buhl?

Give grasping pomp its double share,

I ask but one recumbent chair.

Thus humble let me live and die,

Nor long for Midas' golden touch;

If Heaven more generous gifts deny,

I shall not miss them much,

Too grateful for the blessing lent

Of simple tastes and mind content!

Bhai Sahib this is your first warning for that comment.

Whoo! hold on minute there! what's the reasoning behind that?

My comment was thought proking and 'water tight'.

Updated: talikhaak I think I sent you a private message.

I admit...........my feet feel very cold of a sudden

I admit......Im getting tired of hearing those stories about sikh girls :lol:

This is what i fail to understand, what has made us modern?? evrythg tht we call modern is nthg but media influence, sit back and think about this.

supersingh veer u say times have chged which most of the so called moderate sikhs say too, just to justify their actions. and whts wid marry a stranger comment?? People i see around me were married as strangers and they are leading a happy life bai.

When two gursikhs get married they aren't strangers and never were.

ok cool i get your point

^^thats what happened back in the day bai, so why can't/doesn't it happen now?

because times have changed.........and people dont want to marry strangers well thats what they are if you dont know what they look like or havent spoken to them...........

you will find the right person dood. Baba ji did'nt make us so that we can't.

true.

i admit...................my ears are REALY sore today :nihungsmile:

you should put tape on it or something.

This thread is giving me a headache........so many things to consider when you have to find the right person init........what if u never find the right person?

well thats where the hukam bit comes in................who knows what we did in our previous lives..............maybe i beat the crap outa my wife in my last life so in this life i gotta take the beating from my husband................we have to pay for our sins and only then we can be redeemed..............i knw many women who have embraced sikhi where they have come from homes where they have been abused and to me thats such kirpa man...............to find God amongst all that suffereing..............me got no words for wahegurus amazing grace man............ :lol:

:WW: :WW:

so if you arent suffering in this life or havent been hurt etc or havent done anything dodgy etc does that mean you are being rewarded or something???
