Diplomacy

 This new age diplomacy comes as a double edged sword, because it does not always support the truth. So, you may end up trying to make a person happy by saying what makes them feel good but may be not so truthful.

But we forget that people can sense energies of words too. And so, they may see through the white lie and end up feeling not so good , after all. And there could be a little distancing thereafter.  And diplomacy could have failed to achieve its goal.

I really have never seen the point here. There is something about being false that comes through, however hard you try to mask it , or even succeed in making it an art. Even that is temporary. It will show through ultimately.

So, if truth may hurt, better silence than “diplomacy” which could become the most undiplomatic thing you could have done !

Quote of the day


 

Superfluous

 How does it help to get desperate to get something in life ? I wonder ! If one has to get so desperate for anything, it really has to be worth it.  But, is anything really worth it ?

You lose your peace of mind and what you are ultimately left with after all that desperation and even some amount of frustration , is not peace but just a piece of your mind which has been fragmented many times over.

Such a waste of energy and your mind , too. Even scientifically speaking, this state is a state of imbalance. It would be a good exercise to imagine all that we can actually do without , and the conclusion is mind boggling. Because we can do with a lot less. And this means many things in our lives are superfluous. Which in turn means, there is no need for any desperation to achieve the superfluous.

This brings us into a state of balance. If you achieve it, great ! If you don’t , great ! This attitude keeps the mind as well as our peace quotient intact.

And isn’t this what we strive day in and day out : a slice of peace ?

Reciprocity

 I don’t understand when people say “it is too late”.why ? How ? When is it too late to salvage a situation ? Maybe, the feeling of “ too late” is within us and WE want to give up. Because we don’t see a reciprocity … Yet, Often, success is just beyond your giving up. And if you had tried just that little extra, a lot could have been redeemed.

Yes, there are exceptions and once in a while, it IS best to let go. But that instinct needs to be cultivated.

We generally seem to persevere when things are important to US. But sometimes, we need to create that balance between us and others’ needs.
