A very serious issue ignored by all – EMOTIONS. But let me correct not all emotions, not all emotions but the toxic ones i.e ego, hatred, jealousy, etc. Every one of those emotions destroys us mentally and harms our relationships very deeply. The results of growing these emotions can be very dangerous. Hate leads us to the path which can never be a good one. When are we going to understand that? The constant increase in ego because of more money or more power destroys a person very deeply. No one can be benefited with these kind of toxic emotions.
A great man once said, “When the power of love overcomes the love for power, then the world will know peace.” Power of money or position is not going to built relationships or will not give mental happiness or peace. Many of us forget the good deeds our friends or family members have done for us once we achieve certain position. We think we can live without them, many be some can live without maintaining relationships but that will not give mental happiness or peace and one cannot live without that for sure.
The thing that truly matters is knowing oneself from within. We do not know who we are, we don’t know what we want. This is not the way of living. Material possessions will surely bring comfort to you, there’s no doubt about that and that is important but for that comfort we are forgetting what we truly want. It is said that “If you want to know who you are, you have to see inside yourself and acknowledge what you see” Knowing oneself truly is the ultimate power.
We have created many illusions. We believe what we see when that can be wrong. Clear and unbiased thought must be given to each and every thing that we choose to believe otherwise we will live in an illusionary world for ever. We do not think these things much but these are the things which should be thought. I believe that “The eyes see what the mind is prepared to comprehend”. If your understanding is at a certain level, you’ll not believe anything beyond that level even if the thing is absolutely correct.
There are many misconceptions that we have built. There is constant increase in negative emotions around us. Fear, anger, hate and jealousy these all are eating us alive. It’s our mistake that we are not doing anything about it. No one teaches how to control them or decrease them; instead schools and work place are the main places where it increases. School is the place where is all starts and it grows strong at work place. The truth is the want of possessions, money and power is so deep that we forget what we are doing to others to satisfy the need of ourselves.
We are unknowingly or knowingly fighting with ourselves and each other. Everyone wants money, everyone wants possessions but one should not give more importance to those things than his own mental happiness, and true mental peace does not come from those possessions, true mental peace comes from believing in oneself, keeping strong and healthy relationship with each others. It says, “Winning is better than losing but everyone loses when the war isn’t worth fighting.”
Sure money is important but it never is or will be important than the relationships that one has with his friends or family members or colleagues. Know this, money will come and go but once you break a relationship with anyone, it is damn hard to build that again as it were before. The time passes by and surely no one is going to be there with us forever but that doesn’t mean we screw up the relationships we have with people. Value that relationships, value those around you, and be grateful for the ones that are around you, wishing well about you.
