Business trip

[Guest guest]

People all around us function like mirrors which

often bring up many surprise to us!<br>Last night I

called my friend named David asking him how his area

like after badly typhoon has gone through in attempt

to show him my concern. David is working for a

trading company as a quality controller. He has to go to

many factories out of his office to make sure their

products are good. And he said last night, "I went to

office in the morning while the rain and wind outside

were heavy. I was originally planning to "make a

business trip " to factories to exam our products¡K.."I

was upset while listening to these words "make a

business trip" because David seemed to intend to promote

his "position" by speaking to people these words

"make a business trip to¡K"<br>After our telephone

conversation, I start meditating the situation where brought me

upset by diving into my innermost core. An idea arose,

basically, it is "I" have the same question of liking to

pretend that I am higher than I really am. Otherwise, how

I can easily be affected by his words, his action.

I got lots of wound with me and others just

function a "excuse" to bring up those facts. <br>I thank

David for telling me the fact that I still didn't love

myself very much, I was still not content with what I've

got, I still make it a rule to wear mask in a attempt

to draw others respect. I still needed other's false

recognition to support my own ego¡K..<br>Anand Prabodh
