We are Sufficient!
We are all good, we are all bad, we are all nothing, we are all everything! We are sufficient!
Not everyone is the same
Not everyone likes the same things
Not everyone can do the same things
Not everyone can get along with everyone or anyone
But everyone is important
Everyone is needed
And everyone is sufficient
There are supposedly 5 main elements
Fire,
Air
Space
Earth
Water
Are these the same?
No.
Do we need all ?
Yes
Do they complement each other?
Yes
In different combinations can they make unique creations?
Yes
Are there different types of works or tasks in the world to sustain it?
Yes
Can one person do it all?
No
Would different people need different qualities to accomplish different things?
Yes
Is it important to have different types of people to do different things?
Yes
Let's take a pause and think about the above questions and answers...
We need variations and differences to be able to survive together as a community.
When no two people can be the same and when we need different people, we should be able to accept their differences.
An adventurous person cannot be homely but can do wonders for the whole world.
A homely person can provide passionate and care and be nurturing.
An experimental person can try different things and bring more options for everyone by discovering new things.
A committed person can commit to things and take them to excellence.
We all think we are the best.
Aren't we our favorites?
We always seem to be right in our eyes. It always seems like the other person is at fault.
Can we say that everyone has something good and everyone has something bad?
Can we say that we are all capable of doing good things and bad things?
Can we say that circumstances and surroundings have a role to play in the events around us?
Can we say we can modify the circumstances and events around us to make things good or bad to a certain extent?
Yes?
Then, we have the power to extract good or bad from the other to a certain extent?
Can we make others do what we want?
No
Can we make us do what we want?
Yes
Then who should we reach out to modify the surroundings to get a desired outcome?
To ourselves.
And that's why we should always ask ourselves what could we have done differently to have had a more favorable outcome and would doing so have been a right thing or wrong?
If it seems right and doesn't harm anyone, then we should do it to modify the surroundings and bring out the goodness in ourselves as well as in others.
Fire can never calm a fire down.
If you need to calm a fire then air, space and earth may not be as beneficial but water can do wonders here.
If we need to use the fire to heat up a place, then water may not be the best element. Perhaps some air can blow it up further.
If we use the right element to get the right desired effect, we can do wonders.
Some people are born with an inherent talent to use the right element for the desired effects.
Some will have to develop it.
However, it only helps if done with good intentions and get good results that may be of benefit to one and all.
If done with a wrong desire or intention, then it does good to no one.
We all feel like we are good and we are right but we have to know that this is what everyone feels.
Hence, we should all feel the best in our lives but understand that the others are best in their lives.
We are all good, we are all bad, we are all nothing, we are all everything!
But the most important is that we are all sufficient!
We are all sufficient together!
Without each other, we won't exist.
We can all do our own things peacefully and survive collectively!
We are all good, we are all bad! We are all positives, we are all negatives. Because the net result of all forces has to be a zero to have an equilibrium!
