We create textbooks for almost everything and believe that we can absolutely plan everything, affecting our creative ability to think and feel. The short film below teaches us that it is essential to stop interfering with the natural if we want to evolve and grow.
We like to be controllers and have control over things, we live with the intention of manipulating every detail, we want things to work the way we think and we try to implement our plans, but the truth is that if we want our projects to develop, we must be aware that we cannot always be completely sure that what we want to do and what we decide will work.
- This short film tells the story of Dechen.
- A Tibetan Buddhist monk in formation and passionate about gardening.
- In the video we can see how he plants a flower.
- Observes it and takes care of it with great affection and total dedication.
However, as we saw in the short film, the plant loses its strength despite all the care rendered, while the little monk brings the beautiful flower to the temple, the flower begins to wither, causing a great misunderstanding and sadness in our protagonist.
Dechen cannot accept the situation, so the chief monk, Angmo, is forced to intervene and try to teach his student some life. With the wisdom of his master, Dechen is able to understand that by eliminating the need for power and control, his flower begins to be reborn.
To embrace life we have to get rid of the chains that enclose us in the causalities of life, because if we want to have everything under control, there are few options to discover and that is the end of flexibility and innovation.
We have said many times that sometimes things happen at least we expect them and that, although everything requires at least a little work and effort, we must always allow events to happen, to be open to the possibility of things happening. control and end up committing excesses out of fear and uncertainty.
At the end of the day, it’s about loosening the limits we are imposing on ourselves and making our thinking more flexible. We need to have clear messages:
For example: do we love our partner for what it is or for the way we imagine it?Do we let our children decide and build their autonomy or do we really exaggerate them and guide them where we want them?How many ways is there to go down a path and why do we always want it our way?
By that we mean that sometimes, in our desire to get things right, we end up damaging the nature of events, because in the end, to succeed and be intelligent, we have to get a little closer to madness and put aside common sense. to be able to see with other eyes what others see, because in each story there are as many points of view as people and circumstances involved.
