Running List of Wise Things Danaja's Has Said

1.  Danaja:  "Daddy what do squirrels drink?"  Daddy:  "Water"  Danaja: "Maybe, but Maybe Not" - @ 4 years old - Danaja continue to wonder about life and ask questions. A wise man name Socrates who lived before Christ said that wisdom begins by wondering about things.  Even when you get older, continue to wonder about everything.  Don't stop wondering...

2. Telling Daddy that the little boy on the bus was "awkward".  When asked what that meant: "he's strange and different, but it might hurt his feelings if I said that." - @ 4 years old - This shows compassion for others. I've learned after 50 years on earth that if you practice compassion (sharing in the suffering of others) you can master living, religion, and have peace of mind.  EVERYBODY is suffering in one way or another.  EVERYBODY that you meet is suffering. When you can tap into that fact you will be OKAY with your own "suffering" and know that it is just a condition of the human experience. Also being compassionate will deepen your relationship.  IT IS NOT EASY TO BE COMPASSIONATE (because your ego doesn't want to do that) but if you are showing this capability at 4 years old you can continue it if cultivated. 
3. When ordering food pointing and saying everything you wanted, but saying you are allergic to eggs, not because you are but because you don't like them and knowing if you say you're allergic then you don't have to eat them. - @4 years old - That's the way lawyers think...nothing wrong with using what you know will work even it's not 100% true. I call it twisting the truth. Lawyers and people in business do it all the time, just be careful that you don't make it a habit of "twisting the truth" as a practice.
