remember not to retaliate
remember not to retaliate in words or actions; eventually, you will find it impossible to even think of hurtful thoughts;Don't retaliate;
Shane Parrish says that "Tit-for-Tat" is not an effective strategy; only
animals do that;
I have this tendency - to give back nicely - I fall into this trap of bi-polar attitude: my way-high-way;victory- defeat; enforcing self-will; on being right;
little do I realize that it results only in alienation;
what is the purpose of victory when it creates the divide?
The biggest obstacle I think is oneself;
I need to get myself out of self-will; out of my own way;
there is a big boulder on my journey to Self; that is myself;
I need to reduce my self-will and what shines forth then is love ;
instead of causing hurt, my presence should be to help and heal!
