NO ONE MUST JUDGE ANOTHER

When you pronounce another person as bad or impure, you are making a pronouncement on your own weaknesses. Your own defects are projected as the shortcomings of others. No one must judge another, for in doing so one condemns oneself. An individual's words may be harsh, the actions reprehensible and behaviour revolting, but he is Divine nevertheless. Look upon everyone not as bodies with names and forms, but as the Universal Self. Cultivate this attitude of seeing the Divine in everyone. In this way, you can rid your mind of its prejudices - Saibaba.

Sod's Law and its Corollaries

  • SOD'S LAW, ALSO KNOWN AS MURPHY'S LAW. If anything can go wrong, it will.

  • O'TOOLE'S COMMENTARY ON MURPHY'S LAW. Murphy was an optimist.

  • THE FIRST COROLLARY TO SOD'S LAW. Anything that is to go wrong will do so at the worst possible moment.

  • THE UNSPEAKABLE LAW. As soon as you mention something, if it's good, it goes away; if it's bad, it happens.

  • NON-RECIPROCAL LAWS OF EXPECTATIONS. Negative expectations yield negative results. Positive expectations yield negative results.

  • HOWE'S LAW. Every man has a scheme which will not work.

  • ZYMURGY'S FIRST LAW OF EVOLVING SYSTEM DYNAMICS. Once you open a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is to use a larger can.

  • SKINNER'S CONSTANT. The quantity which must be multiplied by, divided by, added to or subtracted from the answer you get to give the answer you should have got.

  • LAW OF SELECTIVE GRAVITY. An object will fall so as to do the most damage.

  • JENNING'S COROLLARY. The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.

  • BARTH'S DISTINCTION. There are two types of people: those who divide people into two types and those who do not.

  • NINETY-NINETY RULE OF PROJECT SCHEDULES. The first 90% of the job takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90%.

  • FARBER'S RULE. Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.

Do not pour into other's ears your tales of woe and worry; carry a smile on your face so that everyone who sees you can catch the exhilaration. You must not only love others, but you must be so good that others may love you. A man is judged by the nature of his actions; if they are good then he is considered a good man and if they are bad, he is considered a wicked man. - Baba

Actions are the children of thoughts, so keep good thoughts....
But good thoughts and good actions are not sufficient to feed the family.
So we need productive good thoughts... but, who is seeking individual's productivity... when competition is keeping the productive people of opposite group to either idle or diverting them to non productive work areas.

Google is good...
