If we push away all of the difficult feelings and emotions we have in life, then we are really just pushing away life itself. That we shouldn't push them away and hide from them, but that we should honor our mistakes and grow from them. In it Jack uses the quote to show how our difficulties and suffering in life are actually good for us.

I found this quote while reading A Path with Heart by Jack Kornfield. Those that make you return, for whatever reason,ĭelicious comforts that keep you from prayer. That’s why I honour them and pray for them.” In the road, and I understand, again, that what they want “Because they have done me such generous favours.Įvery time I turn back towards the things they want. On the surface it might seem horrible to pray for muggers and thieves, but the underlying message is quite wise in my opinion.Ī certain preacher always prays long and with enthusiasmįor thieves and muggers that attack people This is a quote from the Persian poet Rumi. I'm finally starting to understand that living in the "now" means seeing the world before the filter, or at least understanding how the filter has changed our view of the world.

Are they a fast, irresponsible driver or a self-centered, holier-than-thou driver? We are always making these predictions and assumptions, every second of every day. If I asked you to look at a car, instantly you would start drawing assumptions about the owner. Our past and our motives color everything we see and hear and sense. We don't see the world as it is, we see it through our filter of thought and motivation. We barricade ourselves behind words and symbols and stereotypes. That's when I realized we all just watch the shadows on the wall. It was like a two dimensional, vivid painting that I was staring at. It was as if the sky had been painted on. I was looking at it sure, but I wasn't really seeing it. I was out for a walk, looking up at a full-moon when I realized that I wasn't really seeing the Moon. Tonight, I finally, truly understood the Allegory of the Cave, presented by Plato almost 2400 years ago.

Overall, I thought it was very worthwhile an enjoyable movie even though it housed a few cheesy moments and more than a few side-line characters. I particularly enjoyed the transitions from emotionally zen scenes, which brought a not-unhappy teary-ness to my eyes, to uplifting, almost hilarious and comedic scenes of growth and achievement. On the surface it could be construed as the same old new-lease-on-life story, but underneath it contained a new energy and richness that buoyed it above the usual fare of Hollywood feel-goodery. Her trials in finding a new meaning in life filled me with a new sense of purpose and ardor. It was a wonderfully uplifting story about a girl out of place in Japan with nothing but her blind faith in an overly harsh sensei and the will to learn the spirit of ramen. I've always been a sucker for the Eastern/Kung Fu philosophy, but this brings it into the present day with a romantic, comedic twist. I just watched The Ramen Girl on Netflix and it was incredible.
