As promised, I'll bulletpoint the main ideas I ran across this past week:
* Whenever you feel you're the one who's right you're in trouble! I found that thinking you're right sort of traps you in the uncomfortable prison of the idea you so tightly and exclusively cling to. Accepting, on the other hand, that your stand point might not always be the perfect one offers you an openness of mind and spirit which often makes way to joy. It's interesting how modesty, humility or simply open mindedness, call it as you wish, can bring such a change in one.
Being able to cultivate the above mentioned attitude is, however, not very easy especially if you are, like me, rather hot tempered! :D
*I also learned last week that selfishness (even when unintended) can hurt the people around us and leave deep scars. And pain then goes both sides, as it's not easy to take in that you caused such suffering to the one(s) you love. Easily as it is to hurt, it then turns out to be so much more difficult to cure those wounds. The things that we can do unconsciously...This shows how little we know ourselves and the deceiving image we have of our own person.
*And leading from the previous thought: accepting who and how you are requires certain strength of charter and an inclination for the truth and honesty, as it's so easy to cover up your own dirt!
So, more or less, that is it! Probably not so eloquent as I might have been last week, but hope it's good enough. Today, thoughts about being...
