Sometimes your well meaning actions can be distorted by the lens people choose to wear and they can see nothing but negativity, as if you are the root cause of their problem. (It saddens me, but such is life.)
When this happen, you can choose to talk sense to the person. But when his lens are so cloudy, it may not get through to him. Alternatively, I can choose to work on myself and improve so that one day this person may ask what got me to change. I choose to release negative energy I have on him, and not let his negativity affect me.
Sage learnt this poem in school and was reciting on the bus back home yesterday:
登鹳雀楼
白日依山尽，黄河入海流。
欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。
If we wish to see further, we need to go higher.
In a way, if we wish to understand more things, we need to raise our awareness. Don’t get caught in drama and continue to move forward. If we have the ability to bring betterment beyond ourselves, that is good. Otherwise just work on ourselves first so that one day we may be able to do greater good.
May we all live to fulfill our highest potentials and go through difficulties with ease and grace.
