Fair and Unfair
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 11 October 2004

Often we feel that we are treated unfairly or something hap-
pens that we do not accept as fair. What is fair and what is
not?
Life is neither fair nor unfair. It’s beyond the concept of
“rightness.” It does not judge or prefer anything or anyone—
it just simply is. How can we still feel that we are [...]

Acceptance
Posted in Belief System, Fragments of Reality, Personal on 29 September 2004

We often desire acceptance from others. We are insecure
about ourself and need confirmation from other people. We
want to know what others might think about us. To be more

We like certainty. We would love to live in a world where

Our behavior seems to support the idea of predictable life.
We do not like to change, and we like surprises even less so.
We are comfortable with our ordinary lives and our daily rou-
tines and events. We feel that we [...]
