Once upon a time a big monk and a little monk were travelling together. They came to the bank of a river and found the bridge was damaged. They had to wade across the river. There was a pretty lady who was stuck at the damaged bridge and couldn't cross the river. The big monk offered to carry the pretty lady across the river on his back. The lady accepted. The little monk was shocked by the move of the big monk. "How can big brother carry a lady when we are supposed to avoid all intimacy with females?" thought the little monk. But he kept quiet. The big monk carried the lady across the river and the small monk followed unhappily. When they crossed the river, the big monk let the lady down and they parted ways with her. All along the way for several miles, the little monk was very unhappy with the act of the big monk. He was making up all kinds of accusations about the big monk in his head. This got him madder and madder. But he still kept quiet. And the big monk had no inclination to explain his situation. Finally, at a rest point many hours later, the little monk could not stand it any further, he burst out angrily at the big monk. "How can you claim yourself a devout monk, when you seize the first opportunity to touch a female, especially when she is very pretty? All your teachings to me make you a big hypocrite." The big monk looked surprised and said, "I had put down the pretty lady at the river bank many hours ago, how come you are still carrying her along?"

[This very old Chinese Zen story reflects the thinking of many people today. We encounter many unpleasant things in our life, they irritate us and they make us angry. Sometimes, they cause us a lot of hurt, sometimes they cause us to be bitter or jealous. But like the little monk, we are not willing to let them go away. We keep on carrying the baggage of the "pretty lady" with us. We let them keep on coming back to hurt us, make us angry, make us bitter and cause us a lot of agony. Why? Simply because we are not willing to put down or let go of the baggage of the "pretty lady". We should let go of the pretty lady immediately after crossing the river, that is after the unpleasant event is over. This will immediately remove all our agonies. There is no need to be further hurt by the unpleasant event after it is over.]

 Very good post! I can absolutely relate this to things in my own life. There were many things that I carried along for too long, and when I let them go, it was so refreshing that I couldn't believe how long I let those things bog down my mind. I try not to do that any more, but I do find myself dragging up old hurts sometimes. I guess it's just human nature. Thank you for giving us all something to think about today.
Approach cooking and lovemaking with reckless abandon. Enjoy life!

 It's a good story. And an important thing to remember. Getting yourself worked up is just not worth the energy.

Going with the flow is so much better. *grin* Not to mention it tends to be more fun.

 Thanks for the story, what a great reminder that we are often the cause of our own suffering. If only I could get out of my own way mentally, how much more awesome life would be or at least my perception of it. Have a wonderfully festive and safe holiday weekend, and thanks again for the insight.
