One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.

Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Leiðsögnin frá Ikeda á sínum stað:

13.maí

Á meðan samræðum mínum við Dr. Arnold Toynbee stóð, sagði hann mér að kjörorð sín væru Laboremus, Latína fyrir "komum okkur að verki!" Búddismi Nichiren Daishonin beinir sjónum sérstaklega að nútíð og framtíð; hann er uppfullur af anda "komum okkur að verki!" Við iðkum vegna nútíðarinnar og framtíðarinnar. Það er mikilvægt að festast ekki í fortíðinni; við þurfum að leggja hana að baki. Búddismi sannra orsaka byggist alltaf á því sem er núna; það er alltaf "frá þessari stundu."

Þýtt úr For today & tomorrow, daily encouragement, Daisaku Ikeda
