Communication
It is important to know when to communicate
but more important to know when not to communicate. We all go through phases
when we do things out of good intentions but offend some sensibilities. Fair
enough. This happens sometimes to us also and then we are left to deal with our
feelings like others deal with theirs.
But in all of this, when one tries to
smoothen the ruffled feathers, not once but many times and there is no
response, it is time to withdraw communication.
Holding on is not healthy but some people
can’t let go easily. They have to work out their feelings and their
relationship on their own. More so, the intentions of others may take time. It
is all a part of the drama. But important to understand that this is not about
us or who we are.

Judgment
What is fair? What is just? And what is truth?
Actually, there isn’t any simple answer. Because we are constantly exposed to
so many angles of the same story, so many different perspectives, that we
arrive at our personal perspective and understanding of the truth and take that
as gospel truth. Our convictions are also based on several viewpoints which
culminate into one so called “truth. And we hold onto it at the cost of
conflict with another person’s views.
But truth lies somewhere between all these
perspectives and our understanding may not be quite there. That is why it is
not wise to judge. You really don’t know. What you think you know may not be
anywhere close to the truth. And therefore, it is not really wise to get into
discussions of this nature.
So, better not to claim to know and hence,
avoid judgments.

Spiritual Health
It is important to train yourself to
understand that YOUR life and your spiritual health is THE single most
important thing or at least, should be, for you. You have to and must keep your
focus on your well being and this should certainly not depend on someone else whoever
it may be.
If you notice, the moment you stop taking
the words or actions of others seriously and stop applying them to yourself,
you begin to feel your energies lightening. Many must have experienced this.
The heaviness leaves you. You can think more clearly and resume your own
activities with a new vigor.
There is much to be said about taking
things with a big pinch of salt.
