Mind and Heart

When I was a kid, I do have a bigger mind and a smaller heart.
I was fearless, I think big and dream big, I have no worries, and I have the 'can do' attitude. I was not always happy, I cried and upset about many little things, but I always have positive mind towards anything.
I love my family, myself, my comic books, I don't have too many attachments and I don't love easily.

Now that I am a grown adult, I realised that I have a smaller mind and a bigger heart.
I became so much pessimistic, skeptical, critical and judgemental. I got a lot of fear, I got anxious often, uncertainties worries me, things or people that do not do according to my ideal are irritating me, and my 'can do' attitude is keep diminishing by age.
But I become to love people and things easily, I forgive people easily, I become more considerate and understanding person, I have too many attachments and I have so many wants in my life. I have lots of curiosity on people minds, their cultures, and how their surroundings have shaped them.

I do wish I can have both, a bigger mind and a bigger heart. But the more I live in this world, the more I think that there is no hope for the human race. My heart is aching by the more I know about the world and it's people. It's kinda impossible to have a bigger mind when you start to read the news, listen to people, writing about the current affair, and talking about our fellow human. That's why sometimes people say ignorance is a bliss, ignorance is an act to protect your mind and heart. But I rather have a smaller mind than being an ignorant, I rather having my heart broken than turning a blind eye on something or someone else.

Inorganic

The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled. Tao The Ching Chapter 7

The Gateway to All Understanding

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao The name that can be named is not the eternal Name. The unnamable is the eternally real. Naming is the origin of all particular things. Free from desire, you realize the mystery. Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations. Yet mystery and manifestations arise from the same source. This source is called darkness. Darkness within darkness. The gateway to all understanding. Tao The Ching Chapter 1

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...
