hi bloggie...
its been a while i know...so how u doin?
well, today was a day i jus felt to relax....had to let some tension be released...
so i took a nice shower and jus relaxed myself there and i really felt good during and after.
well i really needed that, as well as some music and a friend's phone call cuz i really was irritated today and i should not have been. the weather was really hot and made me uncomfortable and some people just don't know when to keep their comments to themselves...but those things should not affect me. i felt really bad after and it was like i could have lost my temper just because of that comment even tho it wasn't directed at me...i just should not have felt so much affected by it....anything that people say, they are free to...it should just be words thrown out in the air and should not affect us....equanimity is the key...control of senses and especially the mind, in order to remain unaffected by the roller coaster of life is essential so that we may neither be elated by praise nor depressed by negative criticism....it's easier said than done but it's one thing that we must aim to achieve....and i must definitely aim to do so more in life myself...

I know that feeling. I know what it's like to slip into the habit of beating up myself when 'I shud know better' or 'I shud be stronger'
But in the end of it all, there's a fine line between ignoring comments because of a sense of peace & forbearance & then not only ignoring them, but almost becoming immune to things to a point of insensitivity.
All in all, a pure heart, good intentions & beautiful soul will ALWAYS be hurt by things around them... it will always affect us. It is however in our ctrl to alter our reactions to our emotions. So getting upset & angry is ok now and then... lashing our & punching a guy to the floor is not! :p
So don't worry Robz, u'll find the Equanimity. You'll find the balance.
Did I mention your blog entry here reminded me of me? :)
