When I am around " fire " and I am enjoying its heat... I just maintain " safe " distance and keep my clothes, body and other 'delicate' items away from it! When I want to extinguish fire... I apply water! I work with fire by understanding its nature and its relationships... by knowing its input and resultant output! And, I rarely find it necessary to complain or resent... " why fire has heat! " ! Similarly, when I work with people I can work by understanding their nature and their relationships with things, objects, thoughts, words... If I find something potentially " harmful " ... I can try maintaining a safe distance... When I feel the need to " change " something... I see if [as in case of fire]... I can work at the level of " input " ... Someone might be looking for love... someone else for " appreciation " ... Someone for acceptance... Someone for praise, acknowledgment... Someone for the " feeling of belonging " , for the feeling of equality... I see... if I see the need to make a *change*, I see if I can make any change at the *input* level! <------------- I check... if it is hint of pride and *specializes* in my own eyes, words or attitude... which is triggering the wave of *envy and jealousy* in the OTHER! If yes... I see if I can change it! ---------------> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
