Auschwitz guard trial: Oskar Groening admits 'moral guilt'

A loud growl...


"It is a great relief to discover that our stories do not fully define who we are, or what is happening to us.  One practitioner was on a summer retreat at a camp in the redwoods. She awoke in the middle of the night startled, heart pounding because she heard a loud growl just outside.  She was sure it was a bear, close by, perhaps dangerous.  Turning on a small flashlight, she looked around and waited fearfully for the unknown growler to make another noise.  At first it was quiet. Then after a minute had passed, her stomach let out a loud growl.  She realized it was the bean soup from dinner that was having its way with her digestive tract!  The loud growl was herself."

A man wants to hang a painting...


A man wants to hang a painting. He has nails, but no hammer. His neighbour does have one. Therefore, the man decides to go to him to borrow it. However, at that moment he begins to have doubts. Imagine that the neighbour does not want to lend me his hammer? Yesterday when he greeted me he also was a bit short. Maybe he was in a hurry. Or maybe he just pretended and he really has something against me. What then? I’ve never done anything to him; who does he think he is. If somebody would want to borrow my tools, I would lend them to him right away. Why wouldn’t he? People like that guy make your life miserable. And I’m sure he imagines that I am dependent on him, just because he has a hammer. That does it! The man storms over to the neighbours door, rings the doorbell, but even before he has had a chance of saying “Good morning”, the man yells at him, ‘You can keep your hammer, you jerk!’”
