Um velho samurai

"Coisas grandes ou pequenas, nos aguardam. Mas uma coisa é certa nossa jornada não acabou. Só podemos esperar que de uma pequena forma, nossa passagem por aqui, seja lembrada."

Versículo: "Se alguém quiser vir após Mim, renuncie-se a si mesmo, tome sobre si a sua cruz e siga-me." Jesus Cristo

Bom dia! : )  Jesus

Um velho samurai

Perto de Tóquio vivia um grande samurai, já idoso, que se dedicava a ensinar zen aos jovens.

Apesar de sua idade, corria a lenda de que ainda era capaz de derrotar qualquer adversário.

Certa tarde, um guerreiro conhecido por sua total falta de escrúpulos apareceu por ali.

Queria derrotar o samurai e aumentar sua fama.

O velho não aceitou o desafio e o jovem começou a insultá-lo.

Chutou algumas pedras em sua direção, cuspiu em seu rosto, gritou insultos, ofendeu seus ancestrais.

Durante horas fez tudo para provocá-lo, mas o velho permaneceu impassível.

No final da tarde, sentindo-se já exausto e humilhado, o impetuoso guerreiro retirou-se.

Desapontados, os alunos perguntaram ao mestre como ele pudera suportar tanta indignidade.

- Se alguém chega até você com um presente, e você não o aceita, a quem pertence o presente?

- A quem tentou entregá-lo, respondeu um dos discípulos.

- O mesmo vale para a inveja, a raiva e os insultos.

Quando não são aceitos, continuam pertencendo a quem o carregava consigo.

A sua paz interior depende exclusivamente de você.

As pessoas não podem lhe tirar a calma. Só se você permitir.

“A calma na luta é sempre um sinal de força e confiança, enquanto a violência, pelo contrário, é prova de fraqueza e de falta de confiança em si mesmo”.

Excelente Segunda-feira
Abraços       :|

Não existem sonhos impossíveis para aqueles que realmente acreditam que o poder realizador reside no interior de cada ser humano, sempre que alguém descobre esse poder algo antes considerado impossível se torna realidade.

Sds, Marcell

Só há um meio de termos um mundo melhor. Quando a pessoa humana valer mais do que qualquer bem material. Então vida será verdadeiramente vida!

"Não temais, pois; mais valeis vós do que muitos passarinhos. (Mateus 10:31)"
