Reverend Sid Marinay on the celibacy of the Manila's 74 year-old Archbishop Jaime Cardinal Sin:

"As soon as you want to cling to one particular thing, everything else escapes you, whereas by detachment you can enjoy everything without actually possessing anything in particular."

What he said made sense, but I would have thought that detachment would be something just preached by the buddhists.

Cardinal Sin, what a name, what a name.....

Once in a while, I think of my friends who are feeling angry, frustrated, trapped and I cannot understand how they feel. For I believe that:

"Nothing can bring you peace but yourself."
--Ralph Waldo Emerson

And I know that it is extremely difficult to understand and apply the above, and that it makes little sense to many whom I actually come into contact with. But it makes little sense to blame one's pain, suffering and plight on others as well....
