MESSAGE FOR THE MILLENNIUM

email from Kamalini Kanapathippillai

Yes we are all human being first and then religion comes next.

How many fanatics will understand this?


In an ancient temple, a number of pigeons lived happily on roof top.

 When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby.

The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.

Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift.

All the pigeons had to move out and look for another place.

 They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby.

 The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily.

It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted.

All the pigeons now came to the same ancient temple.

 One day the pigeons on top found some communal  clashes below in a market square. The baby pigeon asked the mother pigeon "Who are these people ".

 The mother replied; they are "Human beings".

The baby asked, "but why are they fighting with each other".

 The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and
  the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.
 
 The Baby pigeon asked, "why is it so? Look, when we were in the Temple we were called Pigeons, when we were in the church we were called Pigeons and when we were in the Mosque, we were called Pigeons.
 
 Similarly they should be called just 'Human beings' wherever they go".

 The mother Pigeon said, 'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully.

These people are yet to experience God.

 Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other".
Reflect!

Give person gun & he robs bank. Give person a bank & he robs everyone

email from Gallege De Silva

Robbers entered a bank in a small town.

One of them shouted: "Don't move! The money belongs to the bank.

Your lives belong to you.”

Immediately all the people in the bank laid on the floor quietly and without panic.

(This is an example of how the correct wording of a sentence can make everyone change their view of the world.)

One woman laid on the floor in a provocative manner.

The robber approached her saying, " Ma'am, this is a robbery not a rape. Please behave accordingly."

(This is an example of how to behave professionally, and focus on the goal.)

While running from the bank, the youngest robber (who had a college degree) said to the oldest robber (who had barely finished elementary school), "Hey, maybe we should count how much we stole."

The older man replied:

"Don’t be stupid. It's a lot of money so let's wait for the news on TV to find out how much money was taken from the bank."

(This is an example of how life experience is more important than a degree.)

After the robbery, the manager of the bank said to his accountant, "Let's call the cops and tell them how much has been stolen."

“Wait,”, said the accountant, "before we do that, let's add the $800,000 we took for ourselves a few months ago and just say that it was stolen as part of today’s robbery."

(This is an example of taking advantage of an opportunity.)

The following day, it was reported in the news that the bank was robbed of $3 million.

The robbers then counted the money, but they found only $1 million so they started to grumble.

"We risked our lives for $1 million, while the bank's management robbed two million dollars without blinking?

Maybe its better to learn how to work the system, instead of being a simple robber."

(This is an example of how knowledge can be more useful than power.)

 Give  person  gun & he  robs  bank. Give  person a bank & he  robs everyone.
