There’re many challenges and difficulties we need to face and deal with that are totally related to the environment we’re inserted into in the present moment and people who share that environment with us. We need to keep practising kindness and compassion to enhance, day by day, towards our personal evolution. We need to diminish the self-punishment we may experience by letting negative emotions kick in when facing and dealing with dishonoured, deceptive, and obnoxious behaviours exhibited by others. The majority of the time we let negativity kick in by projecting the negative consequences of something that we’ve no control of, which may affect us directly and are (in fact) caused by the eager desire of people to harm others. The moment we realise there’s always tomorrow, it’s the moment we understand we need to stop worrying about the future in the present moment; instead, it’s much more beneficial to establish a strong mindset that enables us to face and deal with anything, no matter the circumstances.
The eager desire of people to harm others may be strong in the surroundings, implying a more challenging and difficult environment to walk through in the present moment. We need to face it as an opportunity to enhance, focusing on becoming stronger and more resilient against the presence of darkness and any related negativity we may have contact with and are subjected to. We would realise and understand that a mind in suffering has no ability to think clearly, which implies the observation of childish behaviours no matter either the situation or scene we’re part of.
We all know that dealing with children requires patience, and therefore, dealing with people who exhibit childish behaviours yet are dishonoured and deceptive enough to see us as a child in their fabricated illusions requires even more patience and peace of mind. People behaving like that usually consider themselves as superior race, i.e., welcome to the understanding of the roots for any type of discrimination that may be observed before us. The good news is that being patient and attaining higher levels of peace of mind aren’t like turning on and off a switch. On the contrary, it’s by keeping consciousness at hand that we can make progress towards attaining higher levels of peace of mind, mainly after we start understanding the presence of such dishonoured, deceptive, and obnoxious behaviours we may have contact with in the environment we’re inserted into.
There’s no magical recipe for dealing with the presence of darkness in the surroundings, or any related negativity we may have contact with. We need to observe, analyse, and understand the situations before the self, case by case. The only thing that is essential is to keep consciousness at hand, no matter the circumstances.
The moment we realise how wonderful it’s to cultivate and nurture the beautiful light we’ve deep within, it’s the moment we understand how unlimited the power we’ve deep within is.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
