The Mayonnaise Jar and Two Cups of Coffee
When things in your lives seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He as...

- "The great Sufi poet and philosopher Rumi once advised his students to write down the three things they most wanted in life. If any item on the list clashes with any other item, Rumi warned, you are destined for unhappiness. Better to live a life of single-pointed focus, he taught. But what about the benefits of living harmoniously among extremes? What if you could somehow create an expansive enough life that you could synchronize seemingly incongruous opposites into a worldview that excludes nothing?....I wanted worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence--the dual glories of a human life. I wanted what the Greeks called kalos kai agathos, the singular balance of the good and the beautifu...

- Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other.
- Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.
- Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
- Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
- I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
- Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.
- "Whenever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or politic...
