When we face the presence of darkness in the surroundings, we need to picture an unfair situation such as the ones happening during childhood, when a small child is surrounded and being bullied by a group of children performing both brainless and nonsense actions. In adulthood the behaviour is exactly the same: a bunch of adults (i.e., children) with no consciousness at hand, and experiencing a period of suffering that leads to performing brainless and nonsense actions to effectively harm others. The issue in such a situation is our fear of getting harmed, and therefore, if we’ve no consciousness at hand we may get disturbed in a way that we may do anything just to live within a deteriorating environment or experiencing deteriorating behaviours no more. It’s important that we find a suitable strategy to keep consciousness at hand, learn some kind of martial art to be able to defend the self if a challenging situation presents itself before us, which implies living a meaningful life prepared to deal with the unknown accordingly, no matter the circumstances.
We know it’s extremely challenging or difficult to deal with discrimination, racism, violations of fundamental human rights, or any situation where we’re part of a minority subjected to dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive behaviours. Kneeling before those disgusting behaviours is something that has the power to deteriorate, even more, a person from the inside out in the long run. It’s much more beneficial to us learning how to keep consciousness at hand, even if we need to face a bunch of dishonoured, dishonest, and deceptive people on a daily basis. We need to use any negativity we’ve contact with as an opportunity both to practise our body and mind training, as well as to perform it if the conditions in the environment we’re inserted into allow doing that. The more we use daily situations as training sessions to enhance the self, the easier it’s dealing with them in the long run.
Let’s be brave and embrace no darkness. The more we cultivate and nurture the beautiful light we’ve deep within, the more we become the warrior of love capable of living a meaningful life, even if in the middle of a deteriorating environment and situations.
Namaste 💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
