THE BEST VIEW, IS THAT FROM ABOVEKindness – a state of being or a state that inclines to kindness. However, when truth needs to be spoken, it needs to be spoken and that too is my disposition. There is a time to speak and a time to let things go, there is a reaction or there is a response, let both latter states be disposed towards goodness.
It’s hard at times… for me it is, each one of us carries an overloaded baggage: our own, others, effects of ancestry and history, needless images and information, instructions, the struggle of self-purification and the strive for perfection (some outward-ly and fewer inward-ly), the news … it’s not always easy to be kind in the face of discourtesy.
I see and feel it all around me and inside me, the mountains, the trees, the sea, the thick polluted air, the unnecessary L O U D disturbances, the dirt and that stench. The city is heavy. Numbered oppressors defeating a population; a city that has deprived itself from peace of sound, clean air, clean energy flow… and ultimately tolerance for one another.
The oppressed naturally have then become the oppressors.
The option to choose kindness still remains the best choice, for oneself it is. What helps me is practicing patience and recognizing that the dominant factor of our shared humanity is that we all are one family.
We all are one family.
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.”
The Minimum – Respect.
