Ideas

Here, we are talking about ideas. Ideas to live, and living ideas about life. Practicality. No philosophy, because life is to live, and not to be thought. These are the reason why I create this blog.
A proverb says:

"Dumb person talk about people, Layperson talk about events, and smart person talk about ideas."
An Indonesian proverb says:
"The world is not as wide as the Kelor leaf."
The Buddhist sutra states:
"Merit from donating the seven treasures of the great chiliocosm of three konds of thousands of chiliocosms will not equal that attained in upholding a four-line verse of wisdom."*
It means that the donation of knowledge, skill, truth is limitless in use and withdrawal.* Sometimes, a few words would suffice to impact on an entire life.*

I'm not a smart person, but surely want to be smart. There are a lot of smart people in this vast world. To know their ideas would be a great experience. Although not smart, I am pretty sure that I have a few useful ideas for you to contemplate.
