A breezy Tangarine


Don't bother counting the leaves on a tree. Just enjoy the breeze. Posted by Hello

I had a long day today. It some what challenged my ego. I felt threatened by some one who is more experienced and knowledgeable than I am. Instinctively, I should just keep quiet and listen. But because he was also a person whose morality I questioned I refused to take pride in what he told me. Instead I strongly believed that he was being difficult and vindictive.

Before I jumped into any conclusions, I stepped out of the situation to evaluate if I am being subjective. The answer is inevitably in the affirmative.

After much meditation I take whatever he said and taught in good will. If I belittle and mock him for having ill intentions, am I no better than he is?

For what I have learnt and the knowledge he has imparted I thank him. This is the light I should see him in. If I am not in content with what he is doing perhaps the best solution is for me not to be involved and to tell him politely of my leaving.

Life is short. Why bother counting the leaves on a tree? Just enjoy the breeze.

Bed time. Sweet dreams. It's an eventful and wishful day tomorrow. Will tell you all about it. In the meantime some lovely Sally Yeh music shall sing me to sleep. =)

Ciao!

Just joking LOL

You are right. We shouldnt rush into our actions coz we think badly when we are angry.

Which reminds me. Thx for the Buddhism book. Not deep stuff. Something I understand.
