Dalai Lama Wisdom - The Inner Enemies Part 2
The Inner Enemies Part 2
Two Wrongs Don’t Make A Right
Hatred cannot be overcome by hatred. Hatred will only generate more problems.
Fear
Fear arises when we view everyone else with suspicion.
The Path To Self-Destruction
If we live our lives continually motivated by anger and hatred, even our physical health deteriorates.
Violence is Self-Perpetuating
If you succeed through violence at the expense of others’ rights and welfare, you have not solved the problem, but only created the seeds for another.
Self-Importance
Tolerance and patience with courage are not signs of failure but signs of victory.
Actually if you are too important that’s a real failure.
Part 1
The Enemy In Your Heart
There is one enemy who is always an enemy, with whom you should never compromise, that is the enemy inside your heart. You cannot change all these bad thoughts into your friend, but you have to confront and control them.
The Root Of All Problems
Anger, attachment, jealousy, hatred – these are the real enemy.
Negativity Is Never The Solution
Anger, jealousy, impatience and hatred are all troublemakers, with them problems cannot be solved. Though one may have temporary success, ultimately one’s hatred or anger will create further difficulties.
No Good Ever Came Of Anger
Anger may seem to offer an energetic way of getting things done, but such a perception of the world is misguided. The only certainty about anger and hatred is that they are destructive.
Two Kinds Of Anger
Anger I think can be of two types, hatred with ill-feeing is one while another anger, with compassion as the basis of concern – may be positive.
Keep Anger In Check
Usually people consider that anger is part of the mind, and that it is better to show it, to let it come, I think that’s the wrong conception.. Resentment because of grievances may be let out, because then it’s finished. Constant anger, that I think, it is better to check.
