Now

Now, how do I control others so they wont hurt me?

If you were to make me angry, it’s me who will get angry.

If you were to make me sad, it’s me who will get sad.

If you were to hurt me, it’s me who will be feeling pain.

But if there will be no “me”, there will be no “angry”, “sad” and “pain”.

So, it was “me” who created “angry” and “sad”, not “you”.

So, I control myself before I want to control others.

And controlling myself will surely easier in controlling others.

 

Now, how do I solve problems that is causing me sufferings?

I really see how much problems I have solve without going through them by just acknowledging them and letting them go.

It wasn’t easy… there are still some negative afflictions in me such as unhappy with this and that.

However, the same thing just applies, acknowledge them and letting them go.

 

I realise how easy I am distracted away from truth, when I just hold on to problems.

However, every time I am struck with such weaknesses, I just thought it was a great blessing.

To be able to practice the teachings and seeing how it works in my mind and my body.

Now, this is what I see…

I see construction in having power, I see destruction in power abuse.

I see life in faith, I see death in betrayal act.

I see respect in humbleness, I see rebel in arrogance.

I see sweetness in effort, I see bitterness in ignorance.

I see bridge within friendship, I see a river between enemies.

I see mankind in love, I see emptiness in hatred.

 

May all be well and happy!
