A calamity that appears today will sooner or later disappear. After all, nothing that belongs to this world or happens here is everlasting. A person who is exceptionally cruel today may later on, due to some serious circumstances, be moved to kindness. If I remain in a stage of patience, it helps me to understand why events were delayed and you avoid making the same mistake in the future.
If I am too anxious for the result of something to come about, it is just like trying to eat unripe fruit. Time will change me and everything around me, but I cannot change time, so why get myself upset and annoyed? Everything happens according to its own time and season. I cannot hope to pick mangoes out of season when the tree has not even flowered, but there is much enjoyment in tasting the first fruit of the season. Am I so arrogant that I feel everything and everyone else must fit into my timetable? Am I so foolish as to believe that my life and state of mind are an accurate yardstick by which everything else can be assessed and judged?
It would be good to realize that each of us is different and to adjust to the ever changing scenes of life. I must learn to accept as well as appreciate those differences, and mould myself accordingly.
VARIETYSHOW
Today I am going to experiment and make an effort to see at least one virtue in every person with whom I come into contact. I know that no one is perfect, so why dwell on anyone’s defects? If I actively search for goodness in others it can be found.
If I m thinking about someone’s weakness or defect, I may become uneasy and irritated. I feel annoyed and wonder, “why does this person have to be this way?” and “why does this person do such and such a thing all the time?” if I am thinking about someone’s good qualities, I begin to feel lightness and ease in my mind. Then I am influenced by the sweetness of that person.
