A more closer look at life

Even though human beings are intelligent in many ways like building airplanes, satellites, and nuclear bombs, the competition for power has led them to the foolish deeds - to kill and conquer instead of to love, eventually to destroy mankind. To love is the only sure way to safety. Interestingly, not many people can practice such wisdom, because we are led by pride and stubbornness in our hearts.

Untamed horses are harder to control. Horses can be trained so they will follow commands and do the job instead of following their own free will. Just like horses, humans can be trained too. If not, we’ll fail in this life.

As we observe relationships, we can see that some people can be uncooperative, stubborn.  If what we stand for is not significant, then we are stubborn. When two people won’t give way to each other, they can not get along. Either one person has to give in or both parties give way to each other, or the relationship will fail.

Focus on the good of others so the relationship can head to the positive direction.  No matter how many mean things a person did to you, there could be something that s/he did that was good to you. Concentrate on that to see what happens.

Control emotions and don’t let them flow with the environment.

Throughout life we come into contact with people. Sometimes we happen to have people in our lives who are very strong willed. They could be our close relatives like spouse or children. It will be a challenge and opportunity for us to learn and cope.

Some people could get into bad mood easily, like getting upset, irritated, disrespectful, picking on others, demanding, bossy, jealous, angry, or revengeful. Being around them is a good opportunity for us to grow.

Conflicts are part of life and if we don’t learn how to deal with them, our lives could be miserable. Conflicts can destroy relationships, break up a family, cause someone to lose a job, cause street fights, or even murder, and wars.

The better choice is accepting others, their behavior, opinion, and just tolerate. Meanwhile be respectful, courteous, appreciative, considerate, loving, and kind. Don’t ever hold grudge, be unforgiving, cold, cruel. Those kind of attitudes won’t solve the problem. If two people are cruel to each other, the conflict will just get worse. If you’ve been cold or cruel, repent and apologize, and change your attitude. Be humble and admit faults, and correct it. Just accept and forget all the wrongs other people did to you. Even if they do it again and again, just endure and forgive. Let them have their way if it’s not a big deal.

Family is an important part of life.
