All of us, including animals, believe the best way to live is to avoid pain and discomfort. A more interesting way to live is to be curious whether the object of our curiosity is bitter or sweet. We can endure a lot to find out how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is.
We are not a single character throughout our lives, we change and grow. Like a flower, our identities unfold and bloom. Like a flower, when we open up our beauty is revealed in our center and like a flower, our special qualities come from our inner source.
Realize that all things change, then there is nothing you will try to hold on to. You cannot control the future; you might as well relax into it and accept it no matter what it brings. There is an ancient tale that says whatever happens, you look at it without judgement and say, “some good, some bad”.
The ideal justice is seldom attained because the enforcement of the rules is inconsistent. To administer justice the executive needs to be clear in mind and firm in action. Their attitude should be compassionate and the purpose educational, the aim is to prevent further mischief.
