YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when...
YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when...
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is
that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have in the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your
coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile.
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list
AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.

World Scripture: Enlightment
It is wonderful, Lord! It is wonderful, Lord! It is as if, Lord, one
might set upright that which had been upturned, or might reveal what was hidden, or might point out the path to one who had gone astray, or might bring an oil lamp into the darkness so that those with eyes might see material shapes.
Buddhism. Udana 49
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.
Judaism and Christianity. Bible, Psalm 119.105
Him the sun does not illumine, nor the moon, nor the stars, nor the lightning--nor, verily, fires kindled upon the earth. He is the one light that gives light to all. He shines; everything shines.
Hinduism. Katha Upanishad 5.15; Mundaka Upanishad 2.2.10;
Svetavatara Upanishad 6.14
Jesus spoke to them, saying "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
Christianity. Bible, John 8.12
I am blind and do not see the things of this world; but when the light comes from above, it enlightens my heart and I can see, for the Eye of my heart sees everything; and through this vision I can help my people. The heart is a sanctuary at the center of which there is a little space, wherein the Great Spirit dwells, and this is the Eye. This is the Eye of the Great Spirit by which He sees all things, and through which we see Him. If the heart is not pure, the Great Spirit cannot be seen.
Native American Religions. Black Elk, Sioux Tradition
To know the eternal is called enlightenment Not to know the eternal is to act blindly, to result in disaster. He who knows the eternal is all-embracing. Being all-embracing, he is impartial.
Being impartial, he is kingly [universal]. Being kingly, he is one with Nature. Being one with nature, he is in accord with Tao.
Being in accord with Tao, he is everlasting, And is free from danger throughout his lifetime.
Taoism. Tao Te Ching 16
Those who believe will stand alongside [the Prophet], their light
streaming on ahead of them and to their right. They will say, "Our Lord, perfect our light for us, and forgive us!"
Islam. Qur'an 66.8
The holy Preceptor by the Word lighted a lamp; Thereby was shattered darkness of the temple of the self, And the unique chamber of jewels thrown open. Wonderstruck were we in extreme on beholding it-- Its greatness beyond expression.
Sikhism. Adi Granth, Bilaval, M.5, p. 821
Perfect knowledge is attained on the destruction of deluding karmas, of karmas which obscure knowledge and perception, and of karmas which obstruct [faith]. With the absence of the cause of bondage, the annihilation of all karmas is liberation.
Jainism. Tattvarthasutra 10.

Haha, Well the sadness part is correct......
| You scored as Light. You feel guilty about the smallest things. Your true to yourself and everyone around you. Well most of the time. White-lies are a must! You don't want anyone to feel bad. Their feelings come first. Your personality is very caring, you believe in the goodness of life, and those around you. Many people depend on you, because even if they don't believe in themselves, they know that you believe in them. A candle in the darkness you truly are a savior. The only problem is, when sadness hits, you could be down for weeks. Its like someone just told a child that the world is a bad place and you can't change anything. Thank you for being the people in the world that bring light to this world! Please Tell me what you think! Negative feedback VERY welcome! Tell me how to fix it! :)
