Um velho samurai

Boa tarde! : )  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 Quarta-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

Saudar somente os que o saúdam, dar a quem poderá retribuir, abraçar os que o abraçam, sorrir só para os que sorriem para você, fazer coisas só porque terá retorno, que galardão existe em tudo isso? Faça o bem aos que não poderão retribuir.

"Pois, se amardes os que vos amam, que galardão tereis? Não fazem os publicanos também o mesmo? E, se saudardes unicamente os vossos irmãos, que fazeis de mais? Não fazem os publicanos também assim? (Mateus 5:46-47)"
