You make accusatory statements against people you hardly know, using just media information as your yardstick. Assessment and evaluation run deeper than vain words can tell.
You use words loosely aimed at defaming others. It is a suggestive indicator that you may be average, regular or even less in the caution currency acquisition.
Motives for actions and words used are essential indices. Why do you say or do what you do? This must be a prevailing question to check you always. Do use caution as often as your mind instructs you. It is wisdom that guarantees peace of mind.
Have you grown beyond authority and reprimand because you have a means of livelihood where many only wish they could have a bite? Think again.
What you have is a mere privilege and it may not endure unless you nurture it with the right value of humility and being humane. In a moment it can be taken away and your latter state far worse than either the previous or than you ever thought.
When you use invectives against others, you do not recall that you are as human as they are. That you so employ your tongue to caustic ends is an evident token that you're not far from what those same people do.
That you have attained the status of mastery of your emotions, deliberately intelligent through intentions and consistent use in building yourself to a position beyond regular minds, would show in how you subject yourself to calm, where the majority are tense and reckless in approach to react.
Emotional mastery keeps you dumb and often muted because silence is an earned trait that the wise use. They are able to bridle their tongue in the times of provocation and anger. This, you must consider and weigh with all loftiness.
The ones with this mastery have been tried and tested sore through adversity and though they have blood running through their veins and water present in their system just as the rest, they have been self-programmed to know the harm of self-inflicted injury.
Being able to clothe yourself, feed your belly, maintain your rent, acquire other mere necessities is not just favour. It is what should be. Unfortunately, many are denied this by men like them. There is a just recompense.
There are more important things. The intangibles far outweigh the tangibles. The former, no one can take away from you. Intangibles are acquired through much pain, the paying of attention and the observation of those things that the majority do not even know exist because they are driven by sensuality.
The meaning of life is not subject to bread and butter for a man's life does not consist of the abundance of what he has. Life is made of more and made for more. Physical cravings are not taken into much reckoning for they only dress the clay [flesh].
Earn a living. Labour to provide your bread. If you have more, give to others who have need. Yet, do not bank on those deeds and by them seek to enslave the needy. Your motive are questioned.
Your motives for doing the things you do are weighed more than the things you do. The words you use are weighed equally. Bridle your tongue for of your words you earn either justification or condemnation. More importantly, put a rein on your thoughts. Your persistent imaginations tell who you are. This, the Unseen Eye, sees.
What you feed on define your thirst and hunger. Be ordinary like other men. It is the thrust of humility. You may have access but not all information are healthy for your mind. Guard your mind with all honour. It is ground for sowing.
Earn humility but be not so stupid not to know and live the charge of human dignity. A little ego is the self-confidence that keeps you upholding your integrity because lesser men with unbridled means seek to subvert the wise whose wisdom lies in the upholding of the right values and virtues.
You have but a limited time in this space. But the impact of your delivery lasts beyond this transience. You are more powerful than you know but what you thirst after and hunger for show what you can activate and when you can do same.
When you read words, when you hear words, when you see graphics, whether ill or otherwise in content or intent, do you react or respond? What do they do to you? Nothing is as it seems. Be reminded again to use caution always. It is wisdom of a rare kind. Speak not what you cannot defend or uphold in virtue. Silence is preferred to vain and unedifying words.
You live in a mysterious space where everything is part of everything. Your thoughts, your words, your actions in your unseen corner affect many other things and people that you have no physical access to. If only you know, you would be more circumspect.
There is a purpose to and for everything. Nothing is without use, purpose and intent. That you do not know it doesn't invalidate this. Choose not to pay the unaffordable price of ignorance.
Seek certainty. It may be difficult but it is not impossible. The pain of seeking would bequeath you with discretion and skill you up beyond the ordinary or average mind. You can be that wealthy of mind.
You can be beyond average. You can live more than the lesser mind. You can live for the being, instead of for having. Quit like ordinary men by investing in the unseen. Therein lies meaning.
