He was full of anger. His wife did not serve him a proper breakfast that day. She served bread and butter. He felt that, she was always at home, so she should devote all the time to him. He never realized that she also could have down days too. However, this triggered lot of hidden anger inside him. He reached office maintaining his composure but still he was irritated at everything. So he started taking it out whole day, here and there on everything. Finally, his boss asked him to go home and take rest and he felt further offended on that. He held his wife responsible for everything without realizing and accepting his own role.
One the other hand, a lady always worked on staying peaceful. She would always meditate, everyday, she will analyse her behavior and work on herself. Though she lived in a joint family set up, which was quite hostile for her, she always stayed very calm. So once her friend asked her that how she was so calm about everything, she always said that the sink would not sink until you allow the water to come into it. My life will not sink, if I do not allow the outside murk to come inside me.
Million Dollar thing!
We all have to work on it. If someone else is angry, we have to make sure that we do not get personally involved in someone else’s battle. Second thing, We have to make sure that we do not let others to throw their emotions inside us. We do not have to absorb others energy. We need to stay away from such toxic behaviours. Always do a self analysis and keep releasing whats not serving you positively.
How we stay peaceful and happy, is our responsibility and no one else is responsible for that. Similarly, we need to know that for others too.
