How fondly we desire that the world, the people, situations, events etc around should be as we want them as per our choice, our preference as we want them.
Everything should be as we want them! And if they’re not, we either hate them or we drive ourselves into some kind of depression!
And we think we are INTELLIGENT!
Tell, me is that a sign of intelligence?
Is it possible that everything, all people etc etc etc etc etc should be as we like them to be?
Imagine! Over 7 billion people, each with his own ever-changing list of how everything around should be!
Yes, yes! We all know that’s not possible!
And…yet…YET….yet we wish at least this or that or him or her or whatever was as we want them to be.
Now, if we understand that it is just NOT POSSIBLE then doesn’t it make sense that we learn to accept things as they are and work our way around?
If we are driving down a road and, say, a big branch has fallen across much of the road, don’t we simply find a way around and continue where we are headed?
That’s all there is to it!
In life different situations, often if not usually, happen that we don’t want, like, appreciate or desire.
Does it make sense to lose sleep over it all? Should he allow ourselves to indulge in self-pity and drove ourselves into depression?
Naturally, not! At least, that’s what a sensible person would say!
We need to train and teach ourselves that it’s not for the world to please us! In any case, for the most part we are not even please-able! Nothing can please us for more than a few moments or minutes or…
Since we are not please-able why should anyone – our friends, relatives, associates, co-workers or anyone or anything go out of their way to please us?
If and when anyone does that, he usually wants something in return! So, either one must be so wealthy and powerful that one can give something valuable in return to all who please them or they must stop having such unrealistic expectations.
The problem is, the richer and more powerful one is the more unplease-able one becomes. They might think very highly of themselves but most around think of them as miserable, horrible unpleasant creatures who deserve the worst! But they still go through the motions of trying to please them. After all, these unpleasant unplease-able characters are able to somehow please those that pretend to try to please them!
See the game?
This is what drives people to gather more and more wealth and power…in the hope being able to find ways to be pleased!
However, when one’s essential nature is unplease-able that’s how one will go through life!
It’s better to teach oneself to be pleased easily! By largely accepting things as they are and smiling inwardly at it all…a pleasant accepting smile!
It’s easy! I’ve done it! And it’s made my life better in innumerable ways!
I haven’t grown suddenly much richer or powerful…but I’m certainly far less in want than I ever was…even though there’s less than there was!
And, though not more powerful over others…I’m certainly much more powerful over myself – over the ego-mind which must do my bidding and not me theirs!
And, that’s why I’m saying whatever I’ve said above at length!
It’s possible! It’s very possible to accept things and people and situations and events…even those that we don’t like or didn’t like once upon a time!
Having taught oneself to accept, slowly one’s strong emotions of like and dislike start falling away…
Soon, everything actually begins to be as we like them, want them and wish them to be! Because we have learned to align ourselves with the universe and universal energy!
