Calculating ~ Nature Tuesday

The situation around me lately has made me constantly pay attention to everything around, nature or people, with various behaviors and feelings that result from it. All of that has triggered a question, which more has I done so far, to give or take? Entertain or hurting? Help or ignore?

By logic, it would be hard to calculate it all. Moreover, often what we intend to help or support can actually be detrimental or deemed so. Sometimes, when we intend to entertain others, people are offended, and so on, and vice versa, the things we do consciously or not to others that we mean to hurt, drop, or harm other people even actually make others become stronger, independent, steadfast, wise, and so on.

In the end, only wisdom can show us the real kindness of everything. Seems, It is the door to go upstairs to reality above it, higher awareness; true selves who are non-self, who are aware that there is no separation between self and others, and all are interconnected, which will lead us to an essential understanding of life, after we realize that we are no longer trapped in the idea that we are entities separated. The consciousness that flows peace and bliss from the source, which neutralizes the initial question above.

  1. I always want to think the best of people and hopefully be myself while doing my best. Some and very few won’t ever be happy with what I give but have to leave it.

  2. Sometimes … it’s the receiver …
    We have this saying in Chinese, “the speaker doesn’t have that intention (to hurt), yet the listener have (feels) that intention” …

    I think we cannot change how others want to think …
    but we can learn to be more sensitive …

  3. Looking beyond ourselves is the hardest thing any of us have to do. I know, early on as a parent, I struggled always putting my kids first. I did it, but it wasn’t always natural. I was taught to pursue my career and provide for my family.

    That balance took me a few years to establish.

      • It is interesting. As always your question left me thinking. I suspect we are bound to the path we choose. The question for all of us, are we willing to break the binding?

          • Ah, now we are moving further into a discussion of the power within, versus the things the bind us. Sometimes it is family that binds us, and that binding can be broken but should it?

            Sometimes it is a circumstance that binds us, often we spend far too much time trying to accept that binding, instead of breaking it.

        • I think, what we do in the path to reach heights, and maybe even peaks, are to realize and respond wisely to the combination of our fears, desires, and attachments. It is a reality that at least we are bound by hunger, clothing, responsibility, etc. but at a certain height, we will be able to identify ourselves as a soul and no longer with various outward attributes.

          • I read a great article once, I don’t remember where I will have to find it. The author said “The measure of a person is not how high a person climbs. Nor is it how far a person falls. It is when things are hard how high they lift others.”

        • In a way, I understand the meaning of the article, but I think the context is somewhat different considering the height that I meant earlier is the level of spiritual awareness, and that level determines the ability and sincerity of someone to lift others.
