[sandersstudies]

You CANNOT serve from an empty vessel but go off I guess

[i-have-n0-idea-what-im-d0ing-de]

OP what does this mean?

[sandersstudies]

When your friends are hungry, you cannot serve them from an empty breadbasket, no matter how good your intentions. When they're thirsty, you cannot serve them from an empty pitcher, no matter the effort you put in.

We have to stock ourselves with good things before we are able to give them away, and if we are too exhausted to make bread, we must rest before we can make it to serve our friends. If we are too hungry to serve, we must eat some bread ourselves first.

It's a metaphor for emotional exhaustion. When we wear ourselves down it makes it difficult or impossible to help the people around us, and all the effort and good intentions in the world can't make up for the fact that our vessels are empty. It's hard to not want to serve when our friends are in trouble, but trying to serve from an empty vessel often leaves both of you floundering.

On the contrary, when we care for ourselves and are kind to our body and mind, we are full vessels, and serving the people around us becomes easier. That's why it's important to take time for ourselves once in a while, to refill ourselves with good things.

In the event of a sudden pressure change, put on your own oxygen mask before helping a companion with theirs if needed.

I have never seen this concept so perfectly and eloquently articulated.

You cannot serve from an empty vessel.

The ‘LOKI‘ TV series will reportedly follow Tom Hiddleston‘s Loki appearing during certain moments in human history as a unlikely influencer on historical events.

Romans: ceasar is such a dick

Loki: stab him idk

Romans: you know what

[whois-chihoko]

This entire tv concept has added 10 years to my life

[constant-diablerie]

any noun can become a verb if you don’t care enough

[yupokaysuremhm]

Hi, local Japanese person here to give a reminder this is NOT BUDDHA.

The deity depicted in this statue is actually one of the Seven Lucky Gods, or Shichi Fukujin. (Read about them here, and here)

His name is Hotei, the God of Happiness and Abundance! A jolly fellow who is said to grant happiness and luck if you rub his belly.

So yeah, not Buddha. Still great though!

[pro-survivors]

Reblogging for the correct information!

[thechaotictrickster]

Thanks for correcting this. My parents always told me this statue was called laughing Buddha, but it just didn’t sit with me, but 7 year old me didn’t really know what to type in the computer back then…
