Interesting Philosphy

An Extract from Frozen thoughts for this month

No single person, no single event, no single experience has the right to sit inside your head and continue to disturb the peace of your mind. No single person, no single event, no single experience should ever be given such exalted status as to have the power over the peace of your mind. For the sake of your peace, let go of anything, let go of anybody, who continue to rattle you from within the chambers of your own mind and heart. Your mind and heart should be the seat of your peace and not the seat of someone or something that keeps disturbing you. Nothing at the cost of your peace. Everything for the sake of your peace. Learn to let go, not in the physical sense, but in an emotional sense. Free your mind and heart of any disturbing elements. Let go whatever. Let go whoever. Put your peace above everything.
Your within can either be a basket of fragrant flowers or a vessel of acid? When you let go the source of your hurt, you experience an inner flowering. Else, you keep self-destructing yourself like how acid would destroy the vessel, which contains it.
People hurt you out of their ignorance and their immaturity. And, you allow yourself to be hurt out of your ignorance and your immaturity. We cannot control the ignorance and immaturity of the world. But we can do something about our side of the story. The fact of the matter is that between the hater and the hated, it is always the hater who gets hurt more. While your hatred may do nothing to the other, it certainly gives you sleepless nights, builds ulcer and acidity in you, keeps you constantly agitated, and above all, does not allow you to be at peace with yourself. So, what do you get out of living with hurt? So, what is the point in reliving hurt? Nobody gains and for sure, you definitely lose. Why will you live with something as meaningless as hurt?
In a physical sense, people or event that hurts you happen once. But you rewind and replay the hurt a zillion times. The more you process it, the deeper it hurts. The only reason you may be living with hurt is that you do not understand the value of your peace. You have given a source of disturbance a higher presence within you than your own peace. That's why I say, you allow yourself to be hurt out of your own ignorance and immaturity.
If at all anything or anybody is wrong, let them continue to live outside of you. Don't give them a presence within your mind and heart. Let your mind and heart house only those who are a source of your peace. The rest, let them go…
In letting go of your hurt, you will be letting in peace. A peaceful you is a beautiful you. The good news is, you can be beautiful. The very good news is, it is in your very hands. See… even the thought of 'let go' is getting you the smile…
