It's long weekends ahead! Have fun!
Would like to share with all of you with I experience recently.
My friend was complaining to me about her friend who recently is undergoing a rough patch with her husband and contemplating a divorce. But everything changes after she read a book. My friend couldn't believe one can changes her friend's mind just after reading this book and decides to give her marriage another shot.
My friend goes on and on, on how unbelievable it was to actually just READ a book and make life changing decisions?
I told my friend, nothing is impossible and there is nothing wrong with her friend changing her perspective and outlook in life and decides to give her marriage another chance. It should be a happy thing! Even if the marriage does not have the ideal end result, at least her friend tried and it's another lesson learnt in life!
I see nothing less than positive things from her friend's issue, but my friend was firm in her thoughts and gave me one example.
If someone went for religious teachings and become a better person, I can understand. But to become a better person just from reading a book? WAY NO!
My explanation to her was,
Going for religious teaching involves using the ears, eyes and heart to understand and to change the perspective. Reading a book involves using the eyes and heart to understand and to change the perspective.
Both consist of using the heart, thus the heart is the main catalyst for a change in outlook and perspective. In this case, why is it not possible for one to become a better person through reading?
I don't really know if it has gotten into her, but I hope she can accept what I mention above and uses her heart to understand and not to be so negative towards everything and everyone around her.
The title of the book?
Blessed be!
