Quote of the Day

I can’t say that I don’t agree with this quotation, actually I don’t like a comparison of a life with the war and of person with the warrior.
I believe that every person chooses for him or her what his or her life is. If you choose to fight with the world – the world will fight with you. Because our world is like a mirror and we get the reflection of our attitude towards it. Every person can deliberately reject his struggle and change his attitude to the world and the world will reflect it.
Anyway it’s just my opinion and I made my choice. The sad is that a lot of people even don’t about their right and ability to choose.

Yeah.
I can see it happening in my daily life.i usually have a lot of problems.but i convince myself by7 saying-All right,I can handle this,that is precisely why this problem has come to “me”.
I know i have put it a little differently,but yeah,it makes sense.its the other way around,you only get the opponents who are worth you.:)
Otherwise,it truly wouldnt be fair.You only get what you can handle,nothing less,and certainly nothing more.:P

Love,

When I read this, I translate it into the reality of my daily encounters in this way: Sometimes we may find ourselves in a group setting, faced with a person who at first we may think needs to be “put in their place” – someone who is spouting forth nonsense, making a nuisance of themselves, or otherwise going against the grain in an annoying fashion. The first reaction – at least in my case it usually is – to speak up and counter the claims this person is making. (This happens a lot where I live now, as I feel that I myself am so contrary to many of the generally held beliefs and norms of the people in this particular society.) But, as I have learned, sometimes we have to pause and just listen. And sometimes when we do – when we just listen with an open heart and see that annoying person with open eyes – we realize that they are not, in fact, a “worthy opponent.” Sometimes the person is just a simple individual, completely uneducated. Often times, they are speaking from a place of ignorance, or from a blind spot in their own vision. To verbally counter such a person – in other words, to come at them with your sword – is as to attack a child. They have nothing to defend themselves with. They aren’t really fully conscious of themselves, much less of the message they are spouting forth. They are simply ignorant and/or uneducated and should not be publicly condemned by one who is intellectually or verbally superior. Sometimes we just have to suffer to listen to their nonsense, nod our heads and go on – save our own energy for the battles that are worth fighting, those to be waged against opponents that are in fact worthy and dangerous.

At least this is the way I translate this message into my own life.

Love,
Savita
