Anger

In this world there are 3 types of people:

  • People that gets angry easily and blame others for reacting to their anger, e.g. for scolding them back or fighting back.
  • People that are at ease with themselves most of the time and rarely starts a fight out of no reason unless provoked very intentionally. However when they are provoked, they could fight back relentlessly.
  • People that are at ease with themselves most of the time and can always contain the anger of the persons in the first category. Stays composed even if provoked.

I certainly belong to the second group and I seriously think some divine being is training me to become the 3rd group, by bringing to me someone of the 1st group, so that I can be “enlightened” and “graduate” within this lifetime. Zen.

I have seen for myself representatives in the 3rd group and I admire their ability.

快乐

一个人的不快乐,往往不是因为别人,而是自己内心深处的不快乐(non-fulfilment, 不是not happy)。而这份不快乐,常常会被路人甲所引发,比如说话不中听或行事不中意,或意见不相同之类的。那不快乐的人就会认为是路人甲导致他的不快乐,而且还常常发生。

要知道炸药和导火线的区别:导火线本身无害,但在炸药旁边就变得致命。炸药本身是致命的,没有导火线也可能因为别的原因而爆炸。

人一定要搞清楚什么是炸药(自己的不快乐),什么是导火线(身边的人不经意地说错话,认为他不了解自己,总是和自己作对之类的),对症下药,正视问题,然后从中解决。不然就会误人误己一生。
