One of our biggest sources of suffering is disappointment with human beings who are dishonored and deceptive. The reason is simple: we start generating negative emotions by realising the effort we will need to perform to deal with a mindset focused on harming lives. Usually, people with that mindset are subordinated to influential people occupying privileged positions in society, or are those influential people themselves. Thus, our worst battle is diminishing such negativity generated by the disappointment of observing and having to deal with dishonour and deception, removing suffering—step by step—from our own perspective and relativity. The moment we realise that, it’s the moment we understand how to perform our body and mind training, stepping into our personal evolution, walking the path towards a meaningful life, and fearing the presence of darkness in the surroundings no more.
Disappointment is indeed a huge source of negativity, which has the power to trigger periods of suffering we may experience within our own perspective and relativity. Dealing with disappointment is essential for our duty of stepping into our personal evolution. Dishonoured and deceptive people don’t play fair, i.e., we need to be prepared to face and deal with anything, no matter the circumstances.
When we realise we’re in the middle of a dishonoured and deceptive environment, we may get afraid at first, having no idea of what we could do. However, when we start keeping consciousness at hand we understand that a deceptive and dishonoured environment reflects the deteriorative state of people promoting it. Thus, when we look upon people embracing darkness and promoting the cult of hate we’re able to draw a clear connection among the deceptions performed and the deteriorative state people exhibit in the present moment. That priceless piece of knowledge enables us to attain clarity of mind regarding the need to put luxury aside, focusing on attaining a strong, resilient, and healthy body and mind. If we can attain a strong, resilient, and healthy body and mind in the middle of a luxurious environment, that is wonderful, although the fact we would be more exposed to illusions in the present moment.
The moment we realise how to diminish the disappointment we have with dishonoured and deceptive people, it’s the moment we understand the path towards a meaningful life has the foundation in honour and genuine love.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
