Yeah, all of us like to be love or like by other people, so we go all out to be nice to the people around us even they are wrong or being nasty go you. Does this make us happy ? It is only superficial and is only an illusion. Why do I care whether people like me or not ? Is being popular or well liked means that we are good ? Do we need to prove to other people that we are good if we are nice to the nasty people around us.
This artificial sense of being liked or loved is only in our mind. I have read an article written by a famous Chinese writer " Chung Yeow ". She say that after her death , she don't need her family to arrange a wake for her and let people come to pay respect or send flowers to her wake. All these are so fake and artificial and hypocratic in their acts. What she wishes is to ask this people to donate to charity which helps humanity instead of coming and waste their money to pray for her after she die.
Yes, the world is full of hypocracy . People can be so fake and artificial and every thing they do , there is a motive or agenda or ulterior motives. Yes, the foundation of relationship is so loose and come one light wind, the relation is gone. Gone with the wind. This is foundation with people but hopefully not all people. People always come to see us with a motive and there is no such thing as free lunches. The agenda may not be immediate but there will be a day when the return is needed in one way or another.
So, in Buddhahood, there is a saying " Bodhi tree is not a tree, mirror on the wall is not a real thing , in reality, nothing comes from nothing , so where does the dusts and sadness rest " . We come from nothing and go into nothing , why we need to carry our sins and unhappiness with us.
Let the relationship follow its flow and path. If it is mend to be , it will happen and if it is not mend to be , how can force it . Leave it to fate and follow the flow in our life.
Namaste.
