There isn’t any real good point in overcomplicating life, for life at its core, is really about being a better neighbor, one to another. Those that are a good neighbor, look out for one another, they do right by one another, they are forgiving, non-judgmental, generous, and helpful. All those that spend an inordinate amount of time, being argumentative, jealous-hearted, hateful, and vengeful, in addition to other various negative emotions, clearly are not on the right trajectory. We should want to treat people they way that we prefer to be treated, which typically means that those that are unforgiving, violent, and petty, are not what we want to portray as our own qualities.
We are provided with a good mind, so that we can think before we act; which is especially of value when that good thinking precludes us from striking out in a negative manner at those that we perceive to have done us wrong. As they say, two wrongs still don’t make a right, and vengeance or revenge is a dish best served cold. All those that are quick to react without thinking through the consequences, so of, are probably not going to be ultimately happy with the outcome of that decision making. Those things that are in our control, or subject to our will, are ours to own the responsibility, so of. Therefore, we should see the interactions that we have, good or bad, with others, as a way that we are tested on the lessons that we have so learned, and those then, that are true to those lessons, by having maintained their integrity and good judgment are going to be in a much better place, then those that have lost those, if even just for a short period of time, because what so subsequently occurs, always matters.
Those that take the time to keep a fair perspective in life, and do so in a time and place of which they are calm, are seldom going to admire any of their previous actions that were vindictive, small-minded, and mean; but rather, at best, they will be embarrassed by them, or possibly regretful and remorseful. In reality, the best of times for any one of us, are when we have done something noble, that meant something of substance to someone else, because to get to where we need to be, requires that we be of meaningful assistance to others, that need our voluntary help.
The prism that more people need to view this world, is to see it as the ultimate proving ground of who and what we are as reflected by our thoughts and actions. Those that claim that this world and society to be without purpose are wrong, for everything that we do, matters -- and has relevance for us and for those that we have impacted, for better or for worse. While it is true that some tests that we so face are easy, to get to where we ultimately need to go, we are going to have to successfully pass those tough tests, that many a person has flailed and failed at. Therefore, know this, that there are no shortcuts in life, for what we so achieve, we fairly earn, by our consistent good application of doing the right thing.
