Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 ----- If I don't like people being judgmental ... I can stop being judgmental about the people I see as being judgmental. ----- If I don't like people condemning... I can stop condemning people I see 'condemning'. ---- If I want people to see clearly... I might need to see clearly that they may not see clearly in spite of all my wishes. ----- If I want people to stop hurting themselves... I might need to stop hurting myself by wanting people to stop hurting themselves, if in reality, they don't. ----- If I want people to understand... I might need to understand that they may not understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Yes, it is true that sometimes... some people might indeed try to hurt me on purpose! Yet, it doesn't mean that I need to 'oblige'! It doesn't mean that I need to feel responsible for fulfilling their wish by getting hurt. They can try to hurt... and, I can choose not to get hurt! ... I can acknowledge... Yes, I understand that you want me to get hurt. But, no... I can not help you here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 ---- I don't need to assume that people will be hurt by my honest and frank opinions. In many cases, 'assuming' so might be ignorant, harmful as well as disrespectful. ---- I can trust people to let me know if and when they are really hurt by my honest opinions. ---- I can only stay true to myself and honestly, openly and [when possible] respectfully share what I feel true and right. People can have the opinion if and hen they do. I can not really control it. I can still fully consider their opinion yet, know that they might have them in spite of anything I really do or say. ---- I might never know full impact of anything I say or do for sure. I can just do and say what feels true and right to me and leave it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 yes, it is VERY VERY hard for someone to hurt you if you have already forgiven yourself Nisargadatta , Adithya K <adithya_comming> wrote: > > Yes, it is true that sometimes... some > people might indeed try to hurt me on > purpose! > > Yet, it doesn't mean that I need to > 'oblige'!
