Intentions
To respond with responsibility! Two key
words here: "response" and "responsibility". If we are
responsible and act with responsibility, we will respond to everything. They go
hand in hand with our maturity levels also. And maturity means well thought out
action inspired by good intentions and in the best interest of all. Through a
positive and a balanced mind. See the connection?
But here, we must have a strong faith in
our core strength. Only then will responses become elevated, come from our
higher selves and a high benchmark of positivity.
We are creating ourselves everyday…in fact,
each minute. If we are reacting, we are getting influenced by other energies
around us which cloud our energies. Maybe, then, we end up with several mental
issues because we have given in to the decision of others. But that is not YOU.
That is not YOUR inner core. Therefore, it is important to understand whether
others create who you are or YOU create who you are.

Tramuas
"To hell and back" is common
terminology when we go through an intensely bad experience and are trying to
recover. None of us can actually live in anyone's shoes to feel that intensity.
Though we can try.
To feel someone's pain, agony is an
evidence of very deep soul connections. We don't feel so for everyone and there
is so much misery in this world.
The intense and searing pain that tears us
apart at the suffering or death of a special person can create a hell around us
on a daily basis. This is what depressions are all about. You get up in the
mornings and the first thought is about these souls, that is, if you slept
through the night before. This is true of all traumas that we go through in our
lives at various ages, from rape to betrayals to abject misery and disenchantment.
The biggest service we can provide is to
try and mitigate at least a percentage of that feeling of "hell"
where they live. Even if we can touch one life in this manner.

Views
Sometimes,
we don't lend credence to the fact that people's minds are wired so
differently. What is clear as daylight to me may not be necessarily so for
others. Naturally then, in a close family or group situation, this is a reason
for conflict if one side imposes views on the other.
In
a dialogue, we can try and impress our perceptions because a dialogue means
both parties are open to listening and imbibing. However, the scenario changes
if we try to superimpose our views on the opposite party. Even if the final
conclusion might be in favor of MY view, there might be a resistance to it if I
insist on my views being the only right ones.
So,
often, we compromise, keep silent or go along with the popular view to keep our
relationships intact over and above being right. Only with the understanding
that it cannot be "my way or the highway" kind of attitude. There are
reasons why "my way" could be rejected, though maybe, not all valid
ones from where I might be looking at it, but very valid from other angles
arising from other views.
Therefore,
the ultimate outcome might be a good one only if we are willing enough to
respect those other points of view to complete the picture.
