    I would not put it past him GUB... They are very similar to the Jataka Tales...

    I have to disagree though, it isn't essentially the same idea...

    Following on from the strange possibility that the Dalai Lama read European folk tales, I was surprised by the speaker of these words:

    '' Love until it hurts. Real love is always painful and hurts; then it is real and pure ''


    Mother Teresa.

    Given her particular religeous beliefs and her life's work, this observation appears almost out of place.

    She must have been on about God's love... that certainly hurts...

    Re: Today's Quote

    Because I am trying to become a Grandmaster I am on a fast track posting mission, so we have two quotes today...

    “People have a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of a fear of the unknown, they prefer suffering that is familiar.”
    ― Thich Nhat Hanh

    Yes meaning you didn't actually love the first one which disqualifies the first part of the quote and makes it contradict the second part.
