Why are your mind troubled with hatred and disaffection to others? Why do you remember Tola and bitterness sweeps off your good mood like a whirl wind carts away the unsuspecting particles? I have quite ponder on why we often allow ourselves to be hurt by an unbecoming or improper action of another but I can only settle with why we shouldn't allow our peace to be raped by anyone despite their acts. We need to be at peace for a greater course -the pursuit of our dreams . I mean, I believe that our mind power should be dedicated to strategies on how to carry out our life assignments , bettering lives and not to be corrupted with something as minor, irrelevant, and unnecessary as grief, immaturity and obvious weaknesses of others that hurt or may hurt us.
It would be fantastic if people around you would never do any slight thing to disturb your mind peace (psychologically or otherwise) but the reality of this would only be a fantasy. No two persons are wholly the same. Even you, you sometimes hate yourself for your action. So, if you can't completely please yourself do you sincerely think others can please you completely?
I don't believe it's possible to live among people with no discord whatsoever. However, I believe it's possible never to take offence irrespective of the disagreement, insulting statement or what have you . Yes, if you understand that such expression is not a reflection of their intention but weakness. Be determined not to create any space in your mind to brood over Lagbaja's unthoughtful expressions that may vanish your peace or create a grudge. Keep your peace for something worthwhile.
