What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.
Thank you for this, YAM. I might go a step further and say, love those close to you not just in spite of their weaknesses, but for their whole selves, weaknesses and all, because a person's weaknesses are often part and parcel of their strengths. For example, someone may be discerning but rather too critical; or decisive but rather too dismissive of others; or self-sacrificing but rather too pliable. I don't mean to lecture--this is not always easy, but something I'm trying to embrace. Have you noticed that the same traits in a person you know well can either be endearing or intensely irritating? What makes the difference? x J
Hari OM Welcome Josna! You have enlarged properly on the words above; to accept others inspite of their 'weakness' is to embrace their whole being. Ultimately the perception of weakness in others is subjective... and that, too, dependent on our own level of 'weakness' on any given day or moment! Thus what seemed quaint on one occasion might become irksome on others if our own frame of mind is altered. The difference, therefore, is our own attitude. YAM xx

ReplyDeleteWorking hard on being conscious and trying to have fewer must dos. Work in progress to say the least!
ReplyDeleteLoving is harder than being conscious of their traits 😊
