Be Inspired..!!

Everyone you come into contact with is engaged in a conflict you are unaware of. Be compassionate.

I want you to perform a quick exercise: shut your eyes and consider a problem that affects you but that few people are aware of. Feel the feelings triggered by the circumstance and give it careful thought. Perhaps you’re experiencing sorrow, rage, or anxiety. Let’s go a step further and imagine a family member or friend going through a comparable situation. It might be a parent, sibling, relative, or close acquaintance. Try to feel their suffering and agony. As you do this, let compassion for them fill your spirit. Now, open your eyes and settle with the emotions you felt. How are you feeling? Did you feel a feeling of unity with the other person? A common spirit of humility for life? The purpose of this exercise is to help you realise that your suffering is similar to that of many other individuals.

Everyone of us fights conflicts that few people are familiar with. Each of us is bearing a heavy load in some way. While some people bear it as psychological pain, others carry it as both emotional and physical pain. While some scars are obvious, others are less so. This does not lessen the burden they bear on a regular basis, though. Therefore, rather than telling individuals what to do, we should be more compassionate towards one another. There are moments when we are not at our best because life is not always easy. Someone might trigger our suffering, and we urge them to be mindful of what you say or do. But allow me to state that person also carries a different kind of hurt. Therefore, taking revenge when you are hurt does little to help you and the rest of the world recover.

Is this all making sense? I believe it is evident that most people don’t intentionally try to harm us. We should be compassionate with them before reacting indignantly or hastily because there is frequently a profound wound they are trying to express. I’m not advocating that you act as a doormat for people to step on. But putting out fires with fire does little to promote compassion and comprehension. It appears that individuals are more compassionate with their pets than they are with themselves. Over the years, I’ve seen hundreds of people who struggle internally and have high standards for themselves. When they don’t meet expectations, they criticise themselves because they didn’t live up to their ideal selves. When questioned if they treat their pets the same, they find it repulsive to think about it. However, they behave as if they are second-class residents. Do you recognise the foolishness of this method of thinking?

In Those Tender Places, We Are All Fragile

A volatile interior critic will likely manifest itself in our interactions with others if we are unkind to ourselves. However, fighting with ourselves does little to repair our emotional wounds, and as a result, we turn into those people who are quick to criticise others. Do you recognise the individuals I’m talking to? They seem to think that nothing is good enough, and they consider the world to be an unstable and risky place. They enjoy watching news programmes that serve as a reminder of how cruel the world is. However, this is merely an impression based on their individualised reality. Because people are leading passionate lives in spite of every negative news event. Some people are awakening in the presence of their loved ones, thankful to be living. People in developing nations are content to make a meagre living while helping their family and society.

There is the complete opposite of everything we think is wrong with the universe. Simply put, we are not tuned in to it. Your life would change if you spent a year travelling the globe in pursuit of fulfilling experiences. Our perception and mental model of reality are formed by what we devote our attention to. Because they view reality differently than we do, we often experience disagreement with others. Conflict results as a result of our attempts to persuade them that our paradigm is better than theirs. What if we decided that, depending on our degree of awareness, there are various realities coexisting? In other words, your perception gets bigger as you mature and evolve. Because they are aware that we are all vulnerable in those sensitive areas, individuals with high self-esteem rarely find fault in others. Bringing attention to someone else’s flaws doesn’t really help us develop our own character.

Are you starting to realise that your perception shapes the picture of your life and how you engage with other people? Can you see that having a disagreement with oneself entails having a disagreement with someone else? Can you also see that the foundation for living a meaningful life is first and foremost healing and transforming your wounds? Knowing that everyone bears a heavy load serves as a reminder to take care of our own needs before criticising others. In light of this, I’d like you to consider how you can be more understanding in your relationships with people who offend you. You don’t have to agree with everyone, and those who don’t can tell us something about who we are. It doesn’t imply that we should start a conflict with them. We acknowledge our common humanity, which allows us to disagree while remaining civil. Every interaction becomes a sacred place for healing and self-transformation when we learn to heal and transform our pain.
