I’m awake pondering in the past 3-4 weeks, reason being I am reminded that life passes on pretty quickly, given that time doesn’t stop for anyone despite all the crazy ups and downs.
It’s terrible to see that another war has erupted and people holding on to their own factions.
I’m reminded of Michael Jackson’s “Heal The World” and Black Eyed Peas “Where Is The Love?”
I once heard from a speaker and he said, we live in parallel worlds, where there’s famine, there’s war and yet where there’s much to eat and peace.
I’m grateful for peace and yet I have an uneasy feeling that this peace will not last.
Even with all of these happening, companies are still talking about profits, the stock markets are crashing, people are doing good and doing bad. The full yin and yang.
Just got to focus on what matters the most. It’s also very easy to succumb to negativity given what’s happening to the world now.
Cultivating a positive attitude and mindset is a lens that has to be trained and with the people whom I encounter, their tongues can be made of serpent poison.
These are some very established business persons, wealthy in their own right but have pretty much lost control of their tongue.
There’s a saying that the tongue can either build or destroy.
They choose to tear down, testing character.
In my learning and encounter with such people, I try to practice discernment.
Some people I’ve met recently who just loves to come from a position of superiority.
Playing their age. Playing their connections. Playing their experience.
Or rather — power play.
I’ve also met recently some people who just doesn’t understand boundaries.
Crossing it without much consideration and yet continue as though nothing happened.
The world is full of conflicting value systems, beliefs and some can appear imposing.
Without a firm foundation, a tight grip on principles, one will waver without good roots.
This is something I’m trying to plant firmly and yet also uprooting any roots that do not serve me as I age.
