Difficult people teach us how to learn and grow. We all know people that complain constantly or that are irritated by everything. When we meet them, we should look for the lessons they can teach us; humility, patience, kindness just to name a few.
We forget purity in our lives, we allow our minds to be sullied with frivolous entertainment. We think loyalty is a charming but meaningless virtue. Purity should be in all aspects of our lives. It is not easy, not common; it is a state we can attain without compromise.
Our enemies are human beings just like ourselves, they have the same needs and desires that we do. As a last resort enter into conflict, but do so with the utmost compassion, do not rejoice in victory. Peace is our highest value. If our peace is shattered, how can we be content?
If you are a stranger to a group do not give yourself airs, be cautious and reserved. If you are obliging towards others, you will have success. Sojourn only in proper places, associating with good people. This way you will be accepted by all.
