It’s true, I do!
Okay, before I start I preface thus: this is going to be short. My internet’s been finicky the last two days, and I’ve been roaming about besides. So, even if I had wanted to up a longer post, the means were hardly at my disposal. That, and, due to these circumstance, this is going up a bit late, for which I apologize to anyone wanting to begin their Sunday morning with my fresh writings for the week. That being said . . .
Lately I’ve noticed how frustrated people seem to be quick to get with others from time to time. And so what occurred to me was this:
If something irritates you about another, and the reason for this is that you are capable in a way in which they are not, as their brother or sister, somebody who did not arrive on this planet capable of that thing which you now are, it behooves you to assist that person so far as your own mastery in that which you perceive yourself capable where they are not. Which is to say, if you know something about living they don’t, and you know it well enough you yourself are living it, it is your responsibility to shed some light and help others to share in said same preferred mode of living. Because, quite frankly, it will help you learn more about living too.
And that being said, the other flavor goes something like this: if the cause of your irritation with others is that you feel insecure because they seem to understand a certain something that you do not, the answer is to not be ashamed to learn. We all are learning, and practicing, and getting better at life. And we can all use all the help we can get when it approaches us accordingly. It’s a good thing!
So that’s it. With people either you share, or you respect someone for who they are and don’t take it personal. Or you get frustrated because patience can be hard sometimes, and sometimes it takes patience to love people, and that’s OK too.
So says the Tao Teh Ching, Chapter 27:
