We don't want to know our true 'self', that is why we blame others for our misfortunes and wrongdoings. When we cannot blame others, we blame the creator(s), the god(s). "I am perfectly fine, it is you that made me imperfect." That is our true 'self', selfishness and egotism. Once we let everything go, we will find inner peace. We will then attain Eternal Happiness...
"When we see others get hurt, we laugh. When we get hurt, we cry." ~ Human Nature of Selfishness
We always blame others for our misfortune, and not correct ourselves. When we see others are better than us, we would envy them, but never choose to learn from them. Success makes us feel superior, but failure makes us feel inferior. We don’t need to compare with others, but to upgrade ourselves daily.
People these days don’t know who they are, they are just like puppets. Desires took over their minds. (Greed, Hatred, Ignorance). People back then know how to respect their parents and others. People nowadays seem very fortunate, but they're not, they're suffering. A person doesn’t know life principles are useless. Many great scientists, they invented many great things, but at the end, there will be more disasters, more illness.
There is nothing more precious than life. We all have different wisdom and intelligence. No one is perfect; we should help each other and learn from each other. We should never depreciate anyone because they’re different. We should be satisfy for what we have and not yearn for what we don’t have. Anything that we have will leave us, such as, our family, friends, and the things we love. We should enjoy while they’re still here. Nothing is permanent. All of us have to encounter birth, age, illness, and death. We should be optimistic all the time and be able to forgive. “We should be proud of what we have received or to envy others for what they have will rob us of our peace of mind.” We shouldn’t let others affect our character. “Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing at someone else, but you are the one who gets burn.” When we hurt or take advantage of others, we are the one suffering. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.” Happiness comes from love, care, and forgiveness and not from hatred, greed, and jealousy. “An insincere evil friend is more to be feared than a wild beast; a wild beast may wound your body, but an evil friend will wound your mind.” The reason why human is different from other living creatures is because we know what is right and what is wrong and not because we are smarter than them.
“I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.”
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
“Hatred does not cease by hatred, but only by love; this is the eternal rule.”
“You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.”
“Better than a thousand hollow words, is one word that brings peace.”
“Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.”
“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path.”
“To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
