* United Nations Survey?
Posted on April 14th, 2008 by jill. Filed under jill.
Last month, a survey was conducted by the U.N. Worldwide.
The only question asked was:
“Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to
The food shortage in the rest of the world?
The survey was a HUGE failure.
In Africa they did not know what “food” meant.
In Western Europe they did not know what “shortage” meant.
In China they did not know what “opinion” meant.
In the Middle East they did not know what “solution” meant.
In Asia they did not know what “honest” meant.
In the USA they did not know what “the rest of the world” meant.
…….. And in Israel they did not know what “please” meant.

Buddhist Quotes
And yet you say that, without inquiring into what is right and what is wrong, you will follow your parents orders; without attempting to determine what is correct and what is erroneous, you will obey the words of the sovereign. To a fool, such conduct may appear to be loyal and filial, but in the opinion of a wise person, there can be no greater disloyalty, no grreater departure from filial pity.
