This was sent to me by one of my colleague's with Wahe Guru, and to make it more universal, I replaced it with God.

-Something 2 think about..seriously!!

-Isn't it strange how a $20 note seems like such a large amount when you donate it to the Temple/Gurdwara/Church, but such a small amount when you go shopping? Isn't it strange
-
How 2 hours seem so long when you're at the Temple/Gurdwara/Church, and how short they seem when you're watching a good movie?
-
Isn't it strange that you can't find a word to say when you're praying, but you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
-
Isn't it strange how difficult it is to read one chapter of the Gita/Bible/Guru Granth Sahib, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a popular novel?
-
Isn't it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games,but they do whatever is possible to sit at the back of the Temple/Church/Gurdwara?
-
Isn't it strange how we need to know about an event for the Temple/Church/Gurdwara 2-3 weeks before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for other events in the last minute?
-
Isn't it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God/Waheguru to share it with others, but how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?
-
Isn't it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say, but we question the words in the Gita/Scriptures/Bible/Guru Granth Sahib?
-
Isn't it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven, but they don't want to believe, do, or say anything to get there?
-
Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God/Waheguru, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

It's strange isn't it?
