Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

Wondering what I should write...

-to write about frustrations seems to add to it
-to write about people - whether good or bad - seems to betray certain level of trust - more if writing about bad things...
-to write about good things, well, nothing seems wrong, except sometimes even good news are meant to be kept in secrecy?

Want to write about my job - I'm working in a financial institution which is quite big - just have to be careful because one can really read in between the lines.

End up don't know what to write... or, my mood is not that good at the moment... kinda tired even to talk to people...
