There are those who do not realizethat one day we all must die.
But those who do realize this
settle their quarrels.
Dhammapada Ch.1 Verse 6
Dhammapada Ch.1 Verse 6
Reflection
* When we realize that everything is impermanent or transient, we begin to let go of grudges, jealousy, illwill, anger and hatred against others. We begin to realize that holding on to such negative states would bring much suffering ... death levels everything.
* If we harbour negative thoughts or feelings towards others, our minds will be weakened and we will have more Dukkha.
* We need to learn to forgive others who have 'hurt', 'insulted' or 'wronged' us ... our minds then become lighter and more free.
