What is behind an obnoxious situation? Have you ever thought about the previous question? There is a very tiny line between love and hate, as there is one between compassionate and obnoxious. However, even being separated by a tiny line there is a huge difference between those positive and negative foundations of human behaviour. One clear characteristic about the aforementioned difference is the use of silence. In a kind and compassionate perspective, based on the love nature we have inside, silence is the foundation of understanding, meaning the ability of listening before asking the right, and sometimes, tough questions. There is no poke, provocation, or any negative act from the person entering into a silent state. While in an obnoxious perspective, however, silence is the foundation to the conditioning of hate. Before silence, there is a lot of poking, provocation, and negative acts to cause the target person to manifest a negative reaction, which is rewarded with nothing more than a silent state. The moment we realise we have to practise paying attention to keeping our inner balance, it is the moment we understand how to spot and differ right away the obnoxious from the compassionate.


The compassionate protocol of life is not the end of the line but it is the path itself towards the beautiful trends of a meaningful life. It is a protocol we need consciousness to understand, and it is the base of the practise we call mind training. Performing our mind training is nothing more than exercising the compassionate protocol that has the clear goal of connecting the self to his/her love nature, while being capable of recognising all the conditioning behind an obnoxious situation. Such a connection is the base to free ourselves from the conditioning of hate imposed by the obnoxious scene, opening our third eye to the realisation and understanding of such a scene as a whole instead of a isolated and specific tiny point.


Suffering is then related to any negativity we can feel and experience in any situation of our life journey. Understanding suffering requires a deep understanding of the compassionate protocol, which is the antidote to the conditioning of hate imposed by any obnoxious situation. An obnoxious situation is nothing more than the result of what we may call obnoxious protocol. Understanding the obnoxious protocol requires stepping into suffering while triggering our consciousness to pay attention to the details of what is happening within the self, and the surroundings.


At one side we have the compassionate protocol that configures the base of mind training itself, and at the other the obnoxious protocol representing the test to certify the effectiveness and efficacy of such training. Thus, the compassionate protocol can be practised anytime, anywhere, which includes, mainly, life in society configured by the interaction with another person; while the obnoxious protocol is something we can practise within our own privacy to support understanding suffering in a broad perspective.


The moment we realise how to find a way to incorporate the practise of the compassionate protocol into our daily life, it is the moment we understand inner balance is tested by the obnoxious protocol, and achieved by the regular practise of the compassionate one.
