The Appointment in Samarra

Death speaks: There was a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I saw in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threatening gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him Baghdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.

******************************************

``` I love the theme of the story: we can never avoid or hide from Death. However the modern medical technologies come out times after times, we can never postpone our date of death. Karma already arranged our death since we were born. All of us are living alive without knowing three things: when we die, where we die and how we die.

Anyway

People are unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
~ Love them anyway.
If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
~ Do good anyway.
If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies.
~ Succeed anyway.
Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
~ Be honest and frank anyway.
The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
~ Do good anyway.
The biggest people with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest people with the smallest minds.
~ Think big anyway.
People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
~ Fight for some underdogs anyway.
What you spent years building may be destroyed overnight.
~ Build anyway.
Give the world the best you have and you will get kicked in the teeth.
~ Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You will be the best!

Taste of "Giving"

Paul got a car from his bigger brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve, he saw a boy who was very interested in his bright new car and looking around the car when he came out from his office. The boy was not satisfied yet only by looking at the car and he again asked Paul that:

"Is this your car?" Paul nodded his head and "Yeah, my bigger brother gave it to me as a Christmas gift." and then the boy was very surprised.
"Oh, your bigger brother gave it to you free.. right? So, you don't have to spend even a cent?" and then the boy paused his sentence "If I can pray......." Paul was thinking what the boy will pray if he could pray. For sure, he will pray that he wants to get a bigger brother like his brother.

However, Paul was shocked when he heard the word from the boy. The boy said: "I really want to be a brother like your brother."
Paul gazed surprisingly at the boy. Then, he didn't know what happened with him and offered the boy to give a ride around the city. The boy accepted his offer happily. After a while Paul was driving around the city, the boy asked Paul to drive to his house. Paul was thinking why the boy's eyes were bright and enthusiastic; he thought the boy might want to boast his neighbors that he rides a new bright car. But, Paul was wrong again.

The boy asked him to stop in front of a house. He went up the house from the stairs. After a while, he came down slowly again with a small boy. The small boy who is his younger brother was asked to sit on stairs because he can't walk well. Then, the boy hugged tightly his younger brother and said enthusiastically:
"See? brother, This is the car that i said to you upstairs. He was given this car as a present from his bigger brother. He didn't have to spend a cent. Later, I will also buy this kind of car for you as a present. At that time, you can look around the beautiful decorations and stuff at Christmas showrooms."

Then, Paul came out from his car and took these two brothers into his car and visited around the city with his new bright car. He will never forget this experience with these two boys in his life. Especially, Paul got a lesson to learn. That is:

The happiness due to "giving" is much much more pleasant and peaceful than the taste of "getting."
