Thought of the day.

Why do you do what you do?
I think we all follow a determined route. In the end, we have all got the same outcome. How we get there can be different, but the final outcome is the same.

What ever you do, where ever you go, nothing you can do will change the outcome. This is also the same for the person next to you, and the person next to them.

With this thought, what is the benifit of becoming angry, or upset, or annoyed?
Most of the time, we become angry about a problem, then we get angry at others because they arent as angry as we are about this problem.
It is important to understand, this is from their point of view, we can not control the way people see subjects, or even us. That is their own perception of us, their own ideas on how we should be, what we should be doing. But we have our own ideas how we should be, what we should wear, where we should go and be.

Because we can not control what others think, because we are unable to control them, it goes the other way too, they can not control our thoughts about them.
My perspective on this is, what ever they say to me, is a suggestion, and will only be a suggestion, what ever the subject is.
That means, I can listen to their suggestion, and I have the power to either reject their suggestion, or accept their suggestion and act on it.

So, if somebody is angry, its not at me, or even consern me. They can voice what they are angry about, and I will to my best ability, try to provide an alternitive view point on the subject. But the anger they are feeling is only a feeling they feel. It may be shared with others, meaning other people may be angry about the same subject, but it will always be unique to them. the situation causing the anger will be different with everybody. Even the weather will influance the way people feel about a subject.

The solution is, accept that people will have different opinions to you. Even if it seems to be the same. What ever caused them to feel that way will never be the same way you view the same subject. Even if the peceived outcome appears to be the same.

Talk, listen, understand, and their view point may result in a changed opinion, changed thought, less anger and less stress.
