The Bread and Cheese story and Marriage

-

This is a story I read recently.


In an old village in medieval time ..

"A men puts cheese on a bread while eating breakfast but the bread falls down from the table accidentally.  However, the bread falls with cheese side up. His friends says that it's a miracle ... normally the cheese side is always down ruining the bread.  His friends says ... GOD is trying to say something .. some people say he must be a Saint...

So, the people from the village decides to consult the High priest. They go to him and tell him the story. The priest says .. yes, that's interesting ..  He says, let me meditate on this for a day. Come back tomorrow. I will let you know.

The priest is in a dilemma .. he can not neither say that God made a mistake .. nor can he can say that the man is a saint (his job is on the line).

The next day, people go to back to the priest.  The priest says, God was correct. The bread fell exactly the way God wanted but the person put the cheese on the wrong side."

----------------------------
Mapping this story to Marriage (my own interpretation).
(Take this as a humor ... )

The spouse (women) is always right  (like God in the story) ... it is we (the men) always put the cheese on the wrong side! Let's accept it...   

May be that's the bread and cheese way to keep marriage happy :-)

Retirement Journey At age 58, I decided to retire after working 32+ years in computer technology, all in the Bay Area, CA. I am sharing my retirement decision journey and some experiences from the last two years of post-retirement life. You have to look for answers yourself. The 3 BIG Questions I Needed to Answer (for Retirement Decision): Why should I retire or not retire? Do I have the financial capability to retire? How will I spend my time? There may be many other questions, but let's start with these key questions. I will share my thoughts. You have to think about yourself. Why Should I Retire? In November 2022, I convinced the company to lay me off with a package instead of someone else. I initially decided to take six months off and then consider the next steps. In January, I came across this article, " Would You Trade Places with Warren Buffett? " I read the article but did not spend much time thinking about it. Thinking about the next step, I d...

A Pilgrimage - Walking on Camino Frances

The Beginning of a Calling Almost a decade ago, I stumbled into the world of Paulo Coelho, beginning with The Alchemist . His words struck a chord—an elegant blend of spirituality, self-discovery, and emotion that felt both intimate and universal. One book led to another, until I had read nearly all of his works. Even today, when I find myself restless and searching for my next read, I return to Coelho—or sometimes to Herman Hesse’s Siddhartha —as if to steady myself. Among his books, The Pilgrimage left a lasting imprint. In it, Coelho recounts his walk along the Camino Francés to Santiago de Compostela, a journey of endurance, faith, and reflection. I could almost see myself there, step by step, breathing in the silence of old paths. Some time later, I watched The Way , the film where Martin Sheen walks the Camino to complete the journey his son could not. That story deepened the pull. The idea of a pilgrimage was no longer just in books or films—it began to live inside me. Since...

Consciousness ---------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer : I am neither a spiritual Guru who has meditated on consciousness for years nor a neuroscientist or psychologist who has studied this topic and thought about it deeply. My goal was to write to clarify my thoughts for my own sake based on reading books and articles and listening to lectures and texts from spiritual masters and scientists over the last few months. This article is dedicated to my Uncle Late Saroj Behera. He was interested in this topic during his last years and also got me interested. We had many discussions during my visits to Arizona. I was mostly listening and learning from him.  —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PDF Version of the article What is Consciousness? Consciousness is first and foremost a subjective experience. It is a first-person experience, e.g., Why do I feel Happy? Why...
