Stoic....

Being stoic does mean that one has to take a middle path not being carried away by the results that are coming through out of our life because of our actions or actions of others in which we are in no way connected.

Karma is being explained as a result of consequences of our own actions but for the actions of the natural calamities like psunami, land slides, earth quake, floods and Fire, universal law can't be questioned?

We can understand the cause of it, making corrections but acceptance is the main principle of the law of universe ( birth and death)

In the same breath if one examines the sufferings, the immediate solution is to carry on with the cause and time would be coming to our rescue with healing touch provided we follow PATIENCE.

Of course, every feeling is due to external factors associated, it is imperative that we must try to calm our nerves with subtle thoughts so that feelings don't necessarily get carried away into anger which kills the body of the person who manifest simultaneously damaging the mind as well.

So, we need to be meditative by taking our time out and feeling relaxed before reacting....

If at all forced to react, take all possible steps to be pro-active.

Taking positive position is prerequisite for "being proactive".

A Simple Prayer of Gratitude.

Lord, for the blessings you have bestowed on my life.

You have provided me with more than I could ever have imagined.

You have surrounded me with people who always look out for me.

You have given me family and friends who bless me every day
