tolerating criticism

Most of the people hurt even by small criticisms from other. These people feel that they are sensitive. It is not true. Really a sensitive person will be porous. Nobody can hurt him by words. He will allow all words to pass through. Imagine about the child. A child is sensitve. Only arrogant people get hurt. If you are hurt, please understand that you are arrogant. You are strong like stone. That is why words come and hit you.

A sensitive person would never suffer.Suffering is always from arrogance, it is never from sensitivity.You suffer from the words when you stop them, when you resist them,when you create a meaning out of them.

Let your words and mind be straightened. whatever is, let it be offered straight without filtering. Learn to accept the truth bare. Atleast you will know you have a problem and that you can solve.

Light

Light gives of itself freely , filling all available space. It does not seek any thing in return, it asks not whether you are friend or foe. It gives off itself and is not there by diminished.

Michael Strassfeld

Nothing can bring you peace but yourself- Ralph Waldo Emerson

other fellow and I

when other fello takes a long time to do something, he is slow.
when I take a long time to do something , I am thorough.
when the other fellow does not do it, he is lazy.
when I do not do it, I am busy.
When the other fellow does it without being told, he is overstepping his bounds.
when I go ahead and do it without being told,that is initiative.
when the other fellow states his opinion strongly, he is bull headed.
when I state my opinion strongly,I am firm.
when the other fellow overlooks a few rules of etiquette, he is rude .
when I skip a few rules of etiquette, I am doing my own thing.
