Reflection on the Water

Hurtful words lashed out in anger often reveal truth to a certain degree. People always say that if emotions are involved in the creation of words or actions, they cannot be taken as the truth because they are created in haste and without serious thinking. Well, after enduring many hits myself, I see the possibility that they might be true and not until recently that I know that they are 100% true. When I watched The Ellen Show the other day, she was talking to Lea Michele and how she handled the loss of Cory. She also said that when a person's heart has a million cracks, it lets the light in. Being hurt or wounded or having any negative feeling has the empowerment to bring upon something greater if it is being handled properly. I know that at times, our ears, brain and heart can only take so much of vile words. But at what what point do we stop them and give it back to them? The answer is never. I can tell you that I'm always the bigger person. What I get is not necessarily what I will give back. I believe in karma. I know that as humans, we have to uphold peace and kindness in our lives so that we live a meaningful life. We need to love more than we can hate. No, I don't give back. If they can find it in their heart somewhere to look into what they have done and to find the courage to seek forgiveness, you will win. Let the opposite force do its magic. I've lost the battle once and I don't wish to lose again. This time, I'll be the bigger person and forever I shall. God sees the truth in everything. People know that I've given love more than I've received it. Lord Buddha, thank you for blessing me with my beloved family and loyal friends in times of happiness and sadness. Amitofo.
