The Search For Enlightenment

Tonight we had the most beautiful sunset, reds and pinks and oranges covered the sky and I thought about the old saying “Red sky at night, shepherd’s delight”. I think that means that the weather will be fine, but it obviously doesn’t come with any guarantee because right now it’s raining cats and dogs.

Another saying, well more of a quote from Daisaku Ikeda actually, is “A great inner revolution in just a single individual will help achieve a change in the destiny of an entire society and, further, will cause a change in the destiny of humankind”. Watching the BBC news tonight showed that the ‘Arab Spring’ is still on going and that Libya looks to be freeing itself (albeit with a great deal of help from the West) of forty years of tyrannical leadership.

When you think how all this started, with one man in Tunisia giving his life for the cause of freedom, maybe some sayings hold more water than others.
