Daily Choice
============


I am very happy in having gef[0] reply to my last publication 
about "Mindfulness"[1].  I am continuing my and gef's cycle of 
happinesses replies, now with this publication :-) .

gef touched a subject[2] that interested me, and it was:

(...)
So at first a daily sitting is important, a
daily reflection on what happened today,(...)

I agree this is right, with a minor correction...  you may focus 
on what happened on the day that has passed by, and you may also 
focus on the day you are encountering just *ahead*, or on what 
*is happening now*.  So, daily seating while reflecting on 
whatever part of your day (recent future, now, recent past) :-) .

gef, I hope you don't take my modification the wrong way ;-) .

Now, I am leaving you with a modification of a great snippet of a 
book I am reading...  Here it is:

There was a great mystic person of a village, who was always 
laughing.  He was old, and it was time for his death, and he was 
laughing.  People did not understand the, or ever seen such, 
laughing.  So a person asks him how can he still remain laughing, 
even while dealing with death.

The mystic -- "Daniel" was his name -- said the trick was a mere 
suggestion to ownself.  It is a choice...  The mystic said that 
when he wakes up, before he opens up his eyes, he asks: "Daniel, 
what do you want?  The unhappiness?  Happinesses?  Which is your 
choice today?", and Daniel always chose Happinesses.  He thought, 
"why would a person choose the unhappiness?"...  because it is so 
anti-natural.  Also, he added the thought: "...  if a person 
chooses the unhappiness maybe is because that person feels happy 
with that.".
