Tolerance and Mankind

A man is an intelligent soul, and with that comes feelings, opinions and different ways to express that thought.

Some might take it well while some would object it or there would be a handful who would just ignore it.

That's understandable!

After all it boils down to the man being a brilliant, well-informed being so, he has the right to have his beliefs.

These ideas could be good for some while bad for a few and ugly for a handful.

Not everyone will agree, which makes us all distinct even though we all possess the same number of appendages, but the use of them depends on how our brain thinks thus action is dependable on the thoughts.

Now, what really marvels me is that in spite of so many ideas, concepts, theories, speculations this planet is holding about a billion humans who no doubt fight, argue, and even kill over narrow and trivial issues. But when dark black clouds blow away we can inhale the air of positivity, the willingness to help thy brethren who have either got injured physically or emotionally.

Aha! The power of speech, huh!



Speech no doubt is the expression of what we are! Speech is the outlet for happiness, sorrow, and all the good, bad and ugly things we are observing on this planet. But, without it there would be no life, no spirit as we all would be roaming around like zombies!

What I'm really trying to say is that Tolerance is the key to enjoying the bounties that Life has in store for all of us.

Wear the sheet of fortitude to be able to let go when you do not agree with someone!
Have the patience to listen to someone out.
Have the endurance to bear the brunt while letting go!

Mantra for today: Tolerance towards someone starts with us!

Tolerance!

Endurance!

Patience!

We have lost it all. Could blame it on the age we are living in where everything is operated with a switch of a button.

We want instant solutions, but not prepared to work towards it!

What grinds your gears?

"Jeez I hate how people backbite" laments Rose as she made that concluding statement after telling her ordeal on how she got backstabbed by her best friends, as she was getting her nails done.

"I swear! I just don't know how these people sleep at night," came a quick response from her stylist.

Just as Rose paid up and exited the building.
The stylist and her companion had a hearty laugh on her ex-client while mimicking her sobs.

Double crossing, dishonesty, mendacious, insincere, corrupted

Such traits roam around our planet in plenty. Am sure they all do it unknowingly, more so to be able to speak something, just anything.
Result: they hit rock bottom, and they continue to do this all the time, which eventually becomes a habit.

Now with a population of 318.9 million of the US, these things occur in plenty, and if I started worrying about it, I would have a nervous breakdown!


Thus, I want just to continue to focus on minuscule things in my day to day life that catches my attention and makes me grinds my gears!

Some of them are:
When the toilet paper is under and not over...geez! It's tough to grab it when you want to speed things up and clean!

When a certain someone wants to contact you ASAP, and hell breaks loose if you are not available!

When you brief your better half with all the possible instructions, and he calls you with the queries. Ughh!

When people use their saliva to turn pages in a book, and then the book comes to you for a read. Sheesh! I keep that book in the sun for a day to kill those germs!!


But then as Plato has suggested:

“There are two things a person should never be angry at, what they can help, and what they cannot.” 
― Plato

So, I can take steps to avoid the anger step into my system, by applying the brakes in the nick of time so that my vehicle does not set into gear!

I can turn over the toilet paper. 'can breathe in a few puffs of oxygen to keep my cool and respond to the urgency, and can give the details when needed despite all the instructions given.  And I can prefer to read an ebook :)

Mantra for today: Tolerance towards actions of others is indirectly beneficial to one's health.

Holiday Wishes

With the holidays around the corner, I have encountered various incidents where there would be smirk on my fellow citizen, when wished.

I have always been confused with what to wish the other person especially when I have made my purchases from the sales associate and want to part from her.

Should I wish her, "Happy Holidays" OR "Merry Christmas"

I try to scan the associate of what ethnicity she is, and there have been times that I make a mistake...Result...that smirk indicating, "I don't celebrate it."

Question?

Should it really matter, as long as I am wished something?

Honestly, I don't mind being wished any of the above. Since, that gives me another excuse to be jolly and merry.

Mantra for today: Tolerance towards other religions and ethnicity is good for one's mind and body.
