“Two monks were on their way to the temple when they met a woman by the river. She was trying to cross it, but the current was strong and the water level had risen. The older monk took her by the arms and took her to the other bank.
Three days after the event, still on his way to time, the younger monk could no longer contain his anger and said, How could you do that?!Is this !?, violation of the rules we follow!?, And the chief monk replied, What is wrong with you?It’s been three days since I left you at the bank and you’re still using it?
When an important event affects our innermost values, we tend to react in amazement.
Sometimes many daily actions (at home, at work, with friends or family) affect our feelings, emotions and even our dignity in the deepest way, we paralyze, it causes us lethargy, insensitivity, we encapsulate our hearts because we can no longer stand anything. Pain. When we realize that we are hit by catastrophe, everything collapses, our fears increase, doubts accumulate and hope goes away.
We forget beliefs and assume in us chaos that invites us to lose confidence, and without confidence there is nothing left, the suffering is enormous and we have expelled people that we once trust, at first we let time properly organize our mental confusion, but that is a mistake, there is no better remedy than to cleanse, reorganize, sweep the dirt and dust us off , in this way we get rid of everything that makes us suffer, escape and stop storing what is no longer used. by new ways, clean and bright, that keep us out of chaos.
In short: end the sadness and disinfect it. Another alternative is to continue our small life, as if nothing had happened, without dialogue or reflection, but in this way our repressed thoughts and emotions will increase anger and resentment, until it causes us another disaster.
It is extremely necessary to save furniture, collect debris, do a nice general cleaning and sterilize our interior. Acquire a conscious dimension of our suffering and redecorate our conscience and that of those with commitment and respect. that have caused disasters. We will not forget the fear, uncertainty and mistrust that by organizing chaos, everything will disappear. The memories won’t fade, but at least they’ll stop causing pain.
