Half Truths of our time.

PEOPLE PROBLEMS ? Deceptively simple.
I WANT PEACE.
The greatest discovery of the thousand of years of wasted human lives is that, by changing our attitude towrads life, we can attain peace and happiness.

When there is no "I"(EGO) and "WANT"(DESIRE) , there remains only tranquil peace.

May it be ANY kind of people problem, the roots are same. Too many of us have a distorted sense of our own importance in any real relationship. We are not malicious or even unruly, but are utterly lacking in humility. Doesn't matter if you are a rock star or a rocket scientist.When you stop to think about it, though, this is hardly surprising. The PROBLEM is that WE HARDLY STOP TO THINK ABOUT IT!
We are too focused on ourself to a fault. Anything we do, we are constantly on the lookout to boost our self esteem, subconsciously. Our world revolves around us. Not anymore around our family or community. Just us. ME. I.

We need to feel humble, to understand that we are a part of a much larger world that encompasses all kinds of people and viewpoints, and that they are held securely within this community by others in their lives.


Reason? We never show appreciation. Gratitude. Kindness.
Not for World Peace or Washington, but for the people who care for us. Who cared for us.
We shall do our part. Without want. With respect. Try this. Thats all every one of us lack.

We take everyone for granted. We are so self centered that we don't get out of our shoes, step back and asses the situation and see the reality. Don't realize that the importance or sacrifice of the other person. We are too busy counting the vices of our fellow beings, to the extent that we don't even know how much we are hurting ourselves, others, and creating so much negative energy that none other than our own self have to deal with. YES. Its true. Anyone who broke up with anyhow- a friend, loved one, family member, a colleague, a news reader on TV or even a neighbor would always, 99 out of 100, feel that they should have been treated better. They deserve better. They are the one's at loss. They have been played with. They are the victims. They feelings are hurt. Self Pity. Worst sin of all.

This small story will mean differently at different stage of your life. Just for instance, think that you are wrong. Even if you are confident you are right, just think you are wrong for once and read this story.

Once a man found that his axe was missing, and
suspected his neighbour's son of having taken it. Observing the youth walking
around, the man was convinced that his was the walk of a thief. The youth looked
like a thief and talked like a thief; everything he did pointed to his having
stolen the axe. Then one day the man happened to find his missing axe. After
that, he noticed his neighbour's son wasn't behaving like a thief anymore.
Lieh-tzu

People dont tell you when they give up on you. Wake up and take care of them before its too late. With the world heading the way it is, you never know, the person you hate now, or once loved, may not even have the chance to say good bye.

Life goes on.
