WITandWISDOM(tm) - October 28, 2002 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Education is knowing where to go to find out what you need to know; and it's knowing how to use the information you get. - William Feather Source: Dean's Humor List ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Symptoms of Inner Peace Be on the lookout for symptoms of inner peace. The hearts of great people have already been exposed to inner peace, and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world. Some Signs and Symptoms of Inner Peace A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences An unmistakable ability to enjoy each moment A loss of interest in judging other people A loss of interest in interpreting the actions of others A loss of interest in judging self A loss of interest in conflict A loss of ability to worry (A very serious symptom!) Frequent, overwhelming episodes of appreciation Contented feelings of connectedness with others and nature Frequent attacks of smiling An increasing tendency to let things happen rather than to make them happen An increased susceptibility to the love extended by others as well as the uncontrollable urge to extend it Warning! If you have some or all of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of inner peace may be so far advanced as to not be curable. If you are exposed to anyone exhibiting any of these symptoms, remain exposed at your own risk! Author Unknown Submitted by John L.
