REYIS OF SUNSHINE

This is why everyone should devote their lives to Love.

Your house and your cars and all your belongings don’t matter. What will have a lasting impression in the universe is how you treat others.

measure your life in LOVE. 
this is beautiful in that in highlights just how SMALL we truly are in the grand scheme.

in Hinduism, the belief is that this entire “material world” is all illusion and the only truth is the absolute, which you join through living purely and selflessly. Understanding that is half the battle, but it is so easy to lose that understanding in the sea of individualism. It is too easy to forget that living selflessly and with pure intentions is more meaningful than “being successful” and “being the best”.

"Choosing a path meant having to miss out on others. She had a whole life to live, and she was always thinking that, in the future, she might regret the choices she made now. ‘I’m afraid of committing myself,’ she thought to herself. She wanted to follow all possible paths and so ended up following none. Even in that most important area of her life, love, she had failed to commit herself. After her first romantic disappointment, she had never again given herself entirely. She feared pain, loss, and separation. These things were inevitable on the path to love, and the only way of avoiding them was by deciding not to take that path at all. In order not to suffer, you had to renounce love. It was like putting out your own eyes not to see the bad things in life."

"We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life. We’ve added years to life not life to years. We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We’ve done larger things, but not better things."

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth.

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same.

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

- Robert Frost

“50/50!”

“50/50” directed by Jonathan Levine, and starring Joseph Gordon Levitt, Seth Rogen, Anna Kendrick, and Bryce Dallas Howard, was EASILY by FAR the best movie I have seen in the year 2011. If you are looking for a piece of art that traces the human experience in a plethora of fashions, this is the movie for you.

prehistoric pop art in Madurai temple (by marinfinito)

I love this temple. If I had to pick my ORIGIN, it’d be the city of Madurai. It’s my maternal homeground, my great-grandmother’s home. Our family lands. I always identified more with my mother’s side of the family. Especially this meenakshi temple.
