Have you heard of empathic listening and the empathic method? Have you ever heard of the quiet boulevards of empathy? Do you want to be an empath? This is a person who has developed the ability to empathize. Do you build a path from heart to heart, paths of mutual understanding, paths of compassion for misfortune and sorrow. Does your spirituality begin with cooperation? Will you build such streets or quiet alleys of love and understanding, full of fragrant, white-flowered tree acacias (lookers)? There is no need to overwhelm them with words. They are smiling, comforting and these scenes are covered with tree leaves: «I know. I understand everything. I love you». Build streets and alleys like this, because they will last forever. Nothing can destroy them.
Take some time today to decide whether you want to spend energy, mental and spiritual energy building walls to separate yourself from your loved ones, or whether you want to build intellectual arteries of collective thinking, wide boulevards of empathy and silent alleys of spiritual unity. By deciding what to build, you determine the nature of your life. It can be a world of walls that keep you out, or a world of paths that you can travel to endless joy. The choice is up to you.
FATE IS NOT TO BLAME
Do you consider yourself happy or unhappy? Do you think your life is full of success or failure? When we think about our unfulfilled hopes and dreams, our failed grand plans, people often blame fate or so-called luck or bad luck. But this is nonsense (absurd)? Some people say: «This is my lucky (or unlucky) star» or «Today is a new life for me, a new day, a new me» on the contrary «I wonder when I will get rid of school, work or family again». Why do we say this? We speak to hide our shortcomings, mistakes, and sins from ourselves. We want to deceive ourselves with words, but in reality the life we want is not happening, or it is happening, but still there is a feeling of emptiness inside, as if something is always missing. Remember: We succeed or fail depending on the nature (level) of our consciousness.
I think Shakespeare said it best in Julius Caesar, where he says, «Sometimes men are masters of their own destiny. Blame for mistakes, dear Brutus, not from the stars, but from us alone.»
