Trying to make things perfect is futile, there is always something that comes along we cannot control. The essence of life is it is challenging. Sometimes sweet, sometimes bitter. Sometimes you are tense, sometimes relaxed and open. To live life fully is to experience each moment as completely new and fresh.
Sometimes people are exactly as they appear. Other times we are easily fooled by appearances. If we judge people without getting to know them, we may not notice their good points. We must learn to discern the personality of others in spite of the facades they project.
Listen to people, respond to their needs only when asked, do not manipulate them, do not give advice. If you give advice, do you notice that most people don’t act on it? And it probably frustrates you that they didn’t, even though you know what’s best for them??
When the good elements of a society are in control, the evil elements come under their influence and change for the better. When the good spirit rules in man, his original pure nature also comes under the influence and takes its appropriate place.
