"PERCEIVE"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTERACTIONS WITH PEOPLE ARE THE MAJOR SOURCE OF EMOTIONAL TURMOIL BUT IT DOESNтАЩT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY
the problem is that we are continually judging people,
wishing they were something that they are not.
WE WANT TO CHANGE THEM. WE WANT THEM TO THINK AND AND A CERTAIN WAY, MOST OFTEN THE WAY WE THINK AND ACT
because this is not possible, because everyone is different, we are continually frustrated and upset. Instead, see other people as phenomena, as neutral as comets or plants
they simply exist. they come in all varieties, making life rich and interesting
work with what they give you, instead of resisting and trying to change them
As Someone Said :- "MAKE UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE A FUN GAME,
THE SOLVING OF PUZZLES. IT'S ALL PART OF THE HUMAN NATURE"
yes, people are irrational but so are you. make your acceptance of
human nature as radical as possible. this will calm you down and help you observe people more dispassionately, understanding them on a deeper level.
YOU WILL STOP PROJECTING YOUR OWN EMOTIONS ON TO THEM
all of this will give you more balance and calmness, more mental space for thinking
