There is always something and often many things we need to work on within ourselves. I agree that everyone is not motivated equally and at the same time, to work on themselves. Only humans can have weaknesses and limitations. The larger picture of the agenda of karma we carry into this life determines our nature, our reactions and pretty much our psyche.
But we flounder when it comes to learning
our lessons. The universe provides ample opportunities for this though.
Sometimes, I wonder what all the hate and conflict does to the insides
of people who practice these actively. I think it only burns and harms the
practitioner and no one else. Yes, people react negatively to hate because the
biggest criminal wants to be loved at the end of the day. And even words of
cruelty and hate have the power to kill.
It is so mind boggling to see people make
such negative choices for themselves. But karma has a large role to play. We
don’t know it. Therefore, even if we don’t know its extent, the parameters of
living must generally be based on goodness, gratitude and forgiveness.
We tend to cut the branch that we are
sitting on, with ingratitude to our Creator and harshness to the world. Nothing
good really comes out of this.
