Cubicle 24/7

Dear,

This heart felt antidote touched me recently…

It stroked me and it seemed an appropriate theme to share with you for Valentines Day or any day whenever love is needed.

There was this well-known speaker who anticipated hundred of audience and she started off by holding up a RM20 bill. She asked, "Who would like this RM20 bill?" Hands started going up.

She said, "I am going to give this RM20 to only 1 of you, but first, let me do this. She proceeded to crumple up the RM20.

She then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

Well, She replied, "What if I do this?" She dropped it instantly right after the question on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with her shoe.

She picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

Then she said, “My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth RM20. “

Lots of times in lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by Life and the circumstances that come our way. We strongly felt as though we are worthless. No matter what had happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.

It came clear to me about this story might be that our own worth and our worth to each other is beyond the relative.

The ego suffers when life does not go the way it thinks it should be.
The ego will project feelings of loneliness and unloved, worthless, and powerless.
The ego loves to wallow in the negative.
This is the time to reach to the transcendent reality, of whom and what we are beyond the physical.

The transcendent experience of reality could be described as LOVE without conditions and limits.

Did the thoughts of why someone would risk their very own life to save a strangers life ever stroked you?

Maybe it might be because, at an initial level, there is the inner knowledge that we are all the same, we are each other.

Indeed we are one and we belong to each other.

Cubicle 24/7 wishes all the lovely dovey out there a Happy Valentines day =)
