Surprise and No Surprise

The relief effort for Christchurch by some former students in New Zealznd has brought forth some surprises, at least to me. Rats stay rats, but some perfumes have lost much, if not all of the fragrance. As I often say, a person's true color is only revealed when he is tested. Anyway, onward to more pleasant contemplation. One has to have control over one's words. Be pleasant at all times. Be humble and modest. And be calm and self-possessed.
