Knowing that expectations of others are illusions that lead to disappointment or anger
The problems with those around us come from the fact that we want:
- their approval
- control them in their actions or reactions
- expectations destroy the enjoyment of reality, here and now.
It is impossible to change another person; we can, on the other hand, change what we recognize in ourselves.
- Personal suffering, on the moral plane, comes from resistance to what is.
- All negative ways of being are based on fear.
- Forgiveness ends all suffering and all feelings of loss.
- Inner freedom comes from the ability to welcome what comes and let go of what goes,
Ask yourself the three big questions of life:
- What do I want for myself?
- What do I expect from others?
- What do I have to mourn about?
