We are all children when it comes to these things so often. Compassion starts with forgiving ourselves and being our beloved. It works, I changed my life and health with that primary awareness from which a lot springs. Speak kindly to yourself, having been in the military you know you are the only soul guaranteed to be with you at the last breath (at least in physical form) so treat yourself like the treasure you are.

Gabriel Maximus These generalizations are delusional. How does one talk to an adult that all adults without fail will understand the intended message of the one communicating with them? Do you see the false premise in this generalizing? No, we don’t know what we all mean. More generalizing, more delusions. Generalizing does nothing but delude ourselves into thinking the world iz black and white when it’s actually infinite shades of gray. That’s the beauty of it, the perfection of our infinite potentiality. Even when we speak the same language how you perceive the meaning of any word can be interpreted many endless ways. Same language, same words, yet very different meanings. There iz no one particular way of speaking or listening to adults or children. Listening iz about understanding, seeking first to understand before seeking to be understood iz wisdom, compassion, peace, it iz an act of love and there iz nothing that can overcome that, not even language nor the perception of the words being used.

@@highvibefreqzshow5967 I disagree, but see where your coming from, I think. I was meaning more that I know many adults and children for example that know all of the names of the equipment used to ride horses, or ride motorcycles etc and many that don't. I was meaning for some they need to be told different names, unless they've had prior learning I've met many that wouldn't know what a saddle or bridle is and would call it the seat and face straps for example. Some 7 year olds understand science that is taught for their age, others I knew left school early because they were understand science for 11-12 year olds. I wasn't meaning things like poetry and lyrics that unless the create says otherwise are open to creative interpretation. But facts are not. 1+1=2 not 7 ...? I agree in speech yes, tone is important. Someone could obviously type that they love you but be saying it sarcastically or begrudgingly and the reader think wow they must be feeling really emotional etc

I do that all the time because I was trained to be accommodating. Stare quietly into their eyes and keep nodding in agreement. It doesn't mean you agree or understand. It means you know how to stay safe with people who will never see your perspective. BTW, spiritual bypassing-just smiling and acting like the fact that hurt people hurt people makes everything ok-is not doing something healthy with your anger. It's denying and disowning your emotional guidance system. No, you don't need to punch people who verbally,emotionally, and/or physically abuse you, but you DO need to honor what's happening to you, and speak your truth. Parents don't like it? Then stop violating your children's boundaries. And forcing children to go along with your beliefs instead of facilitating them in finding their own is a violation.

This reminds me when I was a young teen, a boy in school always called me mean awful names for small things like pulling out my chair and it making a noise, etc. I asked my parents how I should handle this. My father said, “Whatever cruel words that boy says to you, I guarantee you someone at his home is saying to him. Feel sorry for him, not anger.” I was mad at my dad for a split second, for not defending me, but I let his words sink in, and then I felt a sense of pity for the boy. His worse never affected me any more. I felt no need to counter his words. And I remembered what my dad said for any other future instance. It helped shape my life perspective for dealing with people who have anger.

As a teenage girl, there were a few boys in my class who would try to 'grope' my body, they would draw pictures of my face in an unflattering way, kick me on my birthday, and pull my chair out so I fell to my bottom on the floor twice. Due to this unbelievable humiliation, I felt angry. Of course decades later I was angry whenever I remembered it. I'm nearly 40, and only recently I have realised they couldn't empathise with me. They were suffering so much being the person they were, they could not even see what was going on. I've had the anger for decades, and now it's slowly dissolving. Personally, I've noticed that it's more of a process and not an overnight miracle of forgiveness of the situations I had to be in. If I were suffering like them, who knows what I could've been capable of.

@zenomotion73 Жыл бұрын
I too feel abnormally angry when i witness small injustices. I learned that this crippling empathy for complete strangers stems from my own emotional needs that were not met as a child and my feelings were never validated. Ex: when i cried I was told to stop crying or i would be given something to cry about and i heard “oh well” alot when i would express my concern or opinion. This revelation about of my childhood helped me understand that my malignant empathy for others causes me to neglect myself over the feelings of others. I’m working on creating a balance between my own needs and others I’m a nurse practitioner so i am able help others in order to fill the void left from childhood, but its caring for that little girl inside me that is the challenge . I’m sorry that the traumas created by others are affecting you too. I wish peace, a long life, and happiness. Namaste

That's some deep wisdom right there. We always think "they did that to me" but in reality we are our own biggest enemies. Constantly bullying ourselves. Fighting with ourselves. Yes - these things indeed arise within us. Not outside of us. If we attack others, it is actually because we feel threatened and afraid within. And if we react with anger we give our power away. Not just our power but also our capacity for experiencing joy and ease. So while it feels good to attack back, it only feels good but when we look within we haven't gained anything because the root of the war within has not been settled. The root of anger is almost always fear.

@Goblin-King4 жыл бұрын
@@AbuRas0 Suppression implies either ignoring the energy within, or actively pushing it away, as if it wasn't there. When you feel emotion, it means you have a powerful potential for energy within you. Many times, the moment a person feels that energy within them, they are immediately compelled to release or expel it into the world. When someone releases energy in this way though, it often comes out in ways that, at the very most, serve no function to better the world around you (wasted potential), and, at the very worst, actually harm the people and the world around you, or impede progress. The way a person releases their emotional energy is often habitual, and a learned behavior by watching how those they grew up around expressed their emotions. This is why you sometimes see children end up in the same places that their parents did. Their energy guided them there, because their learned reactions told them to release that energy in that way. And, what you release into the world is what determines your path. Instead, be mindful of the energies both within and without. When you feel an emotion, hold onto it, and think about it. Think of the many ways you could use it, and which ways would be most beneficial to you and the world around you. Then, when you have a clear direction and purpose is when you can most effectively utilize that energy. This is different than suppressing your emotion, in that, when you are suppressing them, you are NOT being aware and mindful of it, and not thinking about how it would be best utilized. You are pushing it down deeper, and pretending it doesn't exist. It is best to never do this. When you try to push emotion down, it has the habit of bubbling out, and being expressed in even worse ways than if you had immediately addressed it. I hope this has answered some of your questions.

I agree with this man. If you learn to control your anger and utilize it's power, it can actually be a good thing. Learn to harness it's strength and redirect it's energy towards a positive goal. Some of my best personal achievements were achieved from redirected anger. It makes for some great work out motivation. I never had this taught to me, I just never wanted to allow the emotion that can be caused by someone else's stupidity, be a reason for me to join in and act stupidly as well. It doesn't mean I don't get angry. I have simply trained myself to not allow it to affect me in a negative way. Good stuff.

True Buddhism. As Buddhist when I hear something unpleasant from someone, I say to my self, " Why did I hear this?. Then comes to an understanding that it because of my hearing ability. Then I think, is this my ear? No I don't think so. Why? If this ear is belong to me, when I have a ear pain, it should listen to my command and stop the pain. How much ever I say stop the pain stop the pain, it doesn't stop until and unless I take some medicine. It means this ear is just there but not truly belong to me. Because things are truly belong to me should obey my command. Like my well trained pet. Therefore I repeat saying to myself that why should I get upset or angry over anything unpleasant I heard from an ear which is not belong to me?

When husband beats wife, wife cannot smile and say , poor man he is suffering, he is sick, I am not angry with you, I only love you, these things are possible only from monks point of view , because they have no intimate connection with anyone, some husband they physically abuse wife and children without any mercy , then how u will say poor man , he is suffering , I love u, the wife will pray if he had died some day soon

A great teacher for the world! It was a miracle for me to find Thich Nhat Hanh, i found him when i was suffering the most. I was desperate to be happy but then he thought me that i don't need to run for things, like romantic relationship etc. Happiness and peace is possible right now, we dont need to chase for objects of craving, which i still work to eliminate from my life. But it's improving :D

I am a qualified babysitter. Every time I find myself with a child, I speak to him/her intelligently teaching the reality of life as it is. I don't agree when some parents treat their children as if they're too "young" to understand some things. Children are much more sensitive and mature than they look. They understand.

It’s funny how my dad taught me a lot of things like this; but I didn’t realize it until decades later. And at the beginning I thought I figured it all out by my self. Then I suddenly realize: That was his plan al along. Teaching with no teaching. We become what we’re naturally ought to do; don’t need to interfere, the leader who is not seen is the greatest leader. A leader who acts despised is the opposite.

When my friends decide to have kids, I always ask them “Are you ready to guide a soul towards happiness and spiritual improvement?” Because if you don’t, someone will feed them, shelter them, and teach them math but who will be absolutely involved and willing to help them strengthen their soul? If you have planned how to feed your kid and in which room they will sleep but haven’t planned how you will support their path towards happiness and spiritual freedom then you are ready to have a pet, not a child. They hate me and they never answer my question clearly... but somehow keep me close once the kids are born lol 😂

All my life i was grasping to different religions etc which is most likely just a calling for spirutality which was not there in my family as a child. I let go of the desire to get a child or children it was a relief for me atleast. So i can focus on healing myself and others. Buddah thought me that i can let go of all the things i desire, it was like a miracle when i got some courage to see that my desires was causing suffering in the moment, when i let go of the desires i be free and happy.

@@kennystarfighter9919 I can relate to you! I grew up in a Hindu family. But my parents were not that religious and they did not teach me about spirituality. As a kid I was really into Christianity so I converted into Christianity and then left the religion. And became an atheist, and a agnostic and again a Christian. But now I am really inclined to learn more about Buddhism. I may even convert myself to Buddhism. Not so sure about that but some teachings of Buddha have helped me a lot! And I'm still learning about Buddhism.

His examples are so believable. I am trying to learn this truth, and it’s easier to understand now. I know that anger comes always to me where I have shame, self loathing and pain. Pain is the catalyst in for me when I’m in so much pain, I feel scared, which then manifests itself as pain. Pain shows us we are heavily unsettled , but with love, compassion and understanding the anger can be used to (as a force for good turning “negative” energy into good! and when this happens, life, love and understanding feel but a step away.
