A Plausible Explanation?
One day, Adam sat outside the Garden of Eden shortly after
eating the apple, and wondered about men and women. So
looking up to the heavens he said, "Excuse me God, can I ask
you a few questions?"
God replied, "Go on Adam but be quick. I have a world to
create."
So Adam says, "When you created Eve, why did you make her
body so curved and tender unlike mine?"
"I did that, Adam, so that you could love her."
"Oh, well then, why did you give her long, shiny, beautiful hair,
and not me?"
"I did that Adam so that you could love her."
"Oh, well then, why did you make her so stupid? Certainly not
so that I could love her?"
"Well, Adam no. I did that so that she could love you."
Reflection
* The Ego in us often makes us feel that we are smarter or
more capable than others.
* Others faults and weaknesses seem to be easier for us to
see compared to our own shortcomings.
* Sometimes we need a really wise one to point out to us
our ignorance and stupidity.

The Dying Irish Nun
The wise old Mother Superior from county Tipperary was
dying. The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her
comfortable. They gave her some warm milk to drink, but she
refused it. Then one nun took the glass back to the kitchen.
Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey they had received as a
gift the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a
generous amount into the warm milk.
When she walked back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the
glass to her lips. Mother drank a little, then a little more.
Before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to
the last drop. "Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "please
give us some wisdom before you die."
She raised herself up in bed with a pious look on her face and
said, "Don't sell that cow."
Reflection
* Beware of the danger of alcohol. It can make you heedless
and lose your clear and logical thinking.
* When one learns to ‘like’ liquor, addiction can soon set in
and pain and more suffering will lie ahead.
