Today should have been a normal usual bright day . But how it gets changed to a bad day because of silly behaviors from certain people. And if i look back for the reasons on such incidents , reasons & cause for anger are so frivolous
I don't know what pleasure some men get by shouting at top of their voice, showing red faces .Are men supposed to show woman that they are MEN by behaving like that?
However, the learning for me is that i am attaching so much of emotional values to people and relationships. Someone else in the same situation would have reacted so carelessly ignoring silly or rude behaviors. But i take it seriously and also allow people to hurt me . I am remembering what a friend told me once about Buddha & his disciple . Buddha & his disciple Ananda were on their rounds for getting alms and one person questioned them if they weren't ashamed to beg like that . On hearing that Buddha smiled and continued walking away . Ananda asked Buddha how he is able to smile it away but he felt so hurt in contrary . Buddha told Ananda by handing over his kamandala "Take this " and he took it . When Ananda gave it back to him , he did not take it . Buddha explained "you have accepted what he told Ananda and i did not"
I wish i were a Buddha so that i do not accept the hurtful words from outside of me!!! but guess am remaining a ANANDAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!
