Epidemic of Inner Peace (a bit of humor)

There’s nothing like a little humor to add insight into the traits we seek to
emulate...
The hearts of a great many have already been expose to inner peace and it is
possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions.  This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable
condition of conflict in the world.
 
Some signs and symptoms of inner peace:

 
* A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past
experiences.
 
* An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment.
 
* A loss of interest in judging other people.
 
* A loss of interest in judging self.
 
* A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others.
 
* A loss of interest in conflict.
 
* A loss of the ability to worry.
 
* Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation.
 
* Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature.
 
* Frequent attacks of smiling.
 
* An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
 
* An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others accompanied by an
urge to extend it.
 
Happy New Year to all of my friends on the Dharma for Today. May your new year
be filled with laughter and love!
