DO BEST WITH FAITH IN GOD: Most of our dissatisfaction stems from expectation of `what should be'. The `what is' is what the life presents us from moment to moment. The `what should be' is the mischievous play of mind. Unwittingly we play into a trap which hampers peace. Expecting others to respond or behave in a manner we are comfortable with is the fundamental problem. The need is to live the life fully, and do the best that one can in a given situation, accepting one's strengths and limitations while not being overly critical or severe on oneself and others. We need to accept ourselves as we are and others as what they are, positively engaging in activity, giving our best attention and care, but not excessively concerning ourselves with outcomes. Albert Einstein said: " Everything is determined by forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect as well as for the star, human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust – we dance to a mysterious tune intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.
