SkepticOfBible Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Hi guys, Just want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Even though I grew up in India as a Hindu, I just loved the idea of christmas(most of it came from reading Archies Comics and Children's book). It still is one of my most favourite festivals. Here is a small prayer which really inspires me, so I thought I'll share with you guys. I think it is Greek in origin May I be no man's enemy, and may I be the friend of that which is eternal and abides. May I never devise evil against any man; if any devise evil against me, May I escape without the need of hurting him, May I love, seek, and attain only that which is good. May I wish for all men's happiness and envy none. When I have done or said what is wrong, may I never wait for the rebuke of others, but always rebuke myself until I make amends. May I win no victory that harms neither me or my opponent. May I reconcile friends who are wroth with one another. May I, to the extent of my power, give all needful help to all who are inwant. May I never fail a friend in danger. May I respect myself. May I always keep tame that which rages within me. May I never discuss who is wicked and what wicked things he has done, but know good men and follow in their footsteps. Peace and Regards, Pritish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
