some books we read religiously.

 loving what is by byron katie is one of them...

once, i walked into the ladies' room at a restaurant near my home, a woman came out of the single stall. we smiled at each other, and, as i closed the door, she began to sing and wash her hands. "what a lovely voice!" i thought. then, as i heard her leave, i noticed that the toilet seat was dripping wet. "how could anyone be so rude?" i thought. and how did she manage to pee all over the seat? was she standing on it?" then it came to me that she was a man - a transvestite, singing falsetto in the women's restroom. it crossed my mind to go after her (him) and let him know what a mess he'd made. as i cleaned the toilet seat, i thought about everything i'd say to him...
then i flushed the toilet.
the water shot up out the bowl and flooded the seat.
and i just stood there laughing.

​we all do that. don't we? 

we think things that are not true.
we jump to conclusions.
we blame people.
we judge people.
we assume the worst about people.
we deny people the benefit of the doubt.

we all do that.

peace comes when we realize that we choose our thoughts and we decide to change them.
