Blame(责备) is one of the biggest problems that we meet in everyday life. 41 And when that doesn’t happen, we blame other people, places or events that we think are the causes of our unhappiness.
Everything we feel comes from within us. 42
If we create unhappiness for ourselves, the world will show us that unhappiness, but if we create joy, peace, and love for ourselves, this is what we will get back.
Can blame solve any problems? 43 When people did something that makes us angry, afraid or hurt, we are doing nothing more than showing them the anger we feel inside.
We have choices about things that make us unhappy. We sometimes prefer to take the easier choices, the ones that keep us in our comfort zone(地带). 44 Sometimes we just have to go beyond our comfort zone, which may mean facing something we don’t like. Perhaps we feel like a victim(受害者) and don’t stand up for ourselves or speak up when we feel that people don’t respect us. Maybe we are afraid of a situation, so we run away from it, instead of facing it with inner strength.
Whatever the problem is, we have a choice every day to face it with blame, fear, anger, guilt(内疚), or with love, kindness, peace. 45 Don’t blame. Enjoy your day.
