Being alone is usually something we choose not to invite in, we desire to escape it and find someone to keep us company. Try having a relaxed or even a curious relationship with loneliness. This can help us discover things about ourselves and begin to enjoy ourselves.
We may feel we are more fortunate than others, but don’t we have the same layers of misfortune, confusion and selfishness to dissolve? The light of our soul is bright, but dense clouds of ignorance obscure it. What are you doing to make your life brighter?
Respond to things in the appropriate way; if asked, answer appropriately. A good word can rationalize a selfish act and a good deed can sometimes serve as a mask for living extravagantly from the misery of others. Therefore, all words and deeds must come from your heart, no motives.
If you are too firm in character, you will have difficulty dealing with others. If not firm enough, you will have difficulty dealing with the course of life. Do not be concerned whether your plans will fail or succeed, just proceed with life gradually and steadily.
Quote: To worry and grieve over the chaos of the world is like weeping into a river to increase its water in fear of it drying up.
