Change the words - or change yourself
Change the words - or change yourself
People have the habit of constantly complaining about others, I'm always right, others are wrong.
But what if all people are right, not just me?
If I change my thinking so that I also pay attention to the others and their feelings, maybe they are right.
The dog barks, that's its job. Children cry, mothers always have something to say. Everybody has an opinion. Newspapers, television, radio, constantly we are confronted with different views of other people.
That's nature, if you don't accept that, you can't make peace with your family, with your environment.
So we should put ourselves in other people's point of view before we judge, maybe look at others' position, include their worries and hardships in our worldview.
If I am always complaining about others, being against this and that, then my life will not be beautiful, I will always be fighting against others instead of at least trying the Buddha's way.
The Buddha's way is the middle way, it is balancing and just, appreciates the point of view of others, is concerned about balance.
Give it a try; this behavior can also be an important building block on the path to "enlightenment."
I am not saying that we have to put up with everything, sometimes we will automatically speak against it. We don't have to put up with everything, what is true may be said.
When sometimes enough is enough and I can't hear the "Bla Bla Bla" anymore, then also my patience has reached its limit.
Therefore: I am right - but all others are also right!
