Integrity Despite Hostility

Some bad experiences become obstacles in our journey in life.

Of course, when we notice that some people read us wrongfully, it hurts and it makes us sad.
For a sensitive person, offence, misjudgment, prejudice, deceit, hostile attitudes, intolerance, unkindness… represent a heavy burden to bear, and sometimes that leads to depression.

We just have to put the bad stuff behind us.
Get a grip
Get on with our life.

We’ve got to learn to distinguish between reputation and character.
Reputation is just other people’s opinion based on gossip and interpretation (rather mis-interpretations!).
None of us has any control over that.
But character and integrity, that’s something we can make a conscious effort to improve on throughout our lives.

We can’t let oursleves be distracted by what we can’t control.
Better concentrate on what we can accomplish.

We still have a lot to do.
A lot to give.

I disagree with you today. There is no obstacle without a doer. There is no hostility with no activater. There is no depression purely empty of some be-sent rays from Hostile people.

The authentic question should be: Why being Hostile in the first place??
Why not try tgo be a little bit friendly and cooperative??
Does it make us stronger when we attack others??
Do we like to feel our superiority??
Is chatting or speaking or whatever was the case of communication, a kind of test that we should be aware of prior venturing that process??

I think that the problem lies in the Others.
The Others have to adjust or readjust their communicating methods in order to fit with their partners. There is no need for being so aggressive!! Especially if you are aware that you are addressing a Sensitive person.

On the other hand, Sensitive People are very receptive and benevolent. They do not argue, they absorb. They do not fight back, they await. They do not struggle to produce an exaggerated response, they linger and try to act to produce the countereffect.

I believe in Balance. Balance that lies in the heart and in the mind or let us say in the Brain of everyone. Such balance has to be the measurement of everything we perform or accomplish. It is a Bless that we have to use and make use of it.

Take care.
