Why are we so personal ?

Can we love all human beings with a compassionate heart ? Do we need to compete with each other or judge each other and behave like we are right all the time ? Can we sit back and analyse ourself and tell ourself that we are wrong.   It has always been that " WE CAN DO NO WRONG"  and sorry is the hardest word.

What is wrong with us ? think hard . It is our ego who has taken over us. We cannot be criticize , we cannot be scolded, we cannot be shame by others,  Yes, like I say earlier, WE CAN DO NO WRONG.

With this egoistic mentality , we will hit the brick wall many times until we wake up and tell that ourself that we are not perfect. If we realized that we are not perfect , then we can accept the imperfection in others.  I have said before that in a Chinese wisdom " one type of rice can feed a hundred or more type of human beings".  This is a wisdom which comes down through thousands of years in China. Yet, we cannot understand it thoroughly.

It is often very difficult to tell a person that she or he is wrong . They cannot listen or understand and accept it. The first thing is that we will response with the question " why are we wrong?".  We have the instinct to protect ourself at the first instance. In our mind, attack is the best way of defence. When there is an action , there is a spontaneous reaction. We hit back before thinking deeply ?  We attack as a way of defence. This is a very normal human reaction.

If we slow down and listen and then reflect on the situation, we could be wrong . We should have the courage to admit that we are wrong adn apologize. But, sorry is the hardest word and most of the time, we soften our stand and walk away if we found out that we are wrong. This is to save our embarrassment.

We become cowards when we find out that we are wrong . This is a form of self protection but the correct way is to stand up and say that we are wrong and we apologize. This is the courage to admit that we are not perfect. What is wrong of being not perfect ? Shame ? scolding ? self defence.

All these re-actions cannot open you to a better person.  We should break our ego and shame ourself. We should correct our weakness if we do wrong. Nothing to be ashame and don't just offer exercise our counter arguements. We look stupid and dumb. Face up and stand up to see it through and understand that it is our mind which need to be trained and explore.

Corret your mind and everything will be alright.

Namaste.
