We don’t open our hearts and minds to others because it confuses us, and we don’t feel brave or sane enough to open up. To help us open look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else’s eyes.
In ancient times people lived in a poetically agrarian view of the world, but we don’t understand these ancient ways. Contemporary minds need contemporary concepts to live by, so don’t rely on old standards. To live life just rely on your direct experiences.
If you treat everyone with love and respect, everyone will love and respect you. If you compete with no one, the world will be grateful to you. If you are not guided by your ego and emotions and let yourself be guided by wisdom instead, you will remain virtuous.
If a person or persons are annoying you, do not engage, retreat with dignity and reserve. It is not good to hate people or situations, for hatred is a form of subjective involvement by which you are bound to the hated object.
Quote We have to do the best we can. This is our sacred human responsibility. Einstein
