One gentleman who was very angry always, thought that everyone else around him was making him angry. He always blamed others for his anger. He always said that if people would stop acting the way they act, he would stop getting angry. But is it possible? So he would always stay angry and because of that people eventually started staying away from him. More he was left alone, further angry he felt. He thought he would form another group and he did join other social groups. But every time, he ended up fighting with them. After sometime, one day, when he was very very angry, he asked himself, why people are so bad to him. Like a whole new doorway opened for him. He felt like someone was saying, if everyone is fighting only with you, may be the problem is with you rather than with everyone else. He was shocked. Then he asked what should he do to solve it and the answer was work on yourself. After that. For example, he did not feel there was any answer.
However, he got the direction. So he started questioning himself, rather than taking it as his entitlement that why he shall be angry. For example, if someone is not driving properly, instead of feeling why that person was driving, he asked, where does it matter to him and what if that person was learning and how was he himself while learning to drive. So he started asking such questions on every thing. He started becoming more aware, more thoughtful and he was becoming more peaceful. Then came happiness because he realized he did not have to worry about it so much. He started remaining peaceful and happy too.. It took him a long time, but yes he was travelling that.
We all have an inner guidance system. We all have God inside us. We all have our higher self guiding us, protecting us, holding our hand too. We just have to go silent enough to hear it and follow it. The way is inside out, not outside to inside. If we are wondering, every thing around will get ok and we will be better, we will keep waiting. We have to start travelling that journey right away and everything around will start getting settled.
