In our lives from the day we are born, there is no other way to get as much light as the energy that comes from conflicts and confrontations. Because,
When we are young, if we fall down while walking and someone there is teasing us, we immediately get up and try to hit him. Similarly, if our parents do not give us something, we fall down and try to pick it up. Why is that? Because we do not want to give up at a young age. We all want to win all the time. We want to stand up straight in the middle of a group and speak with dignity, and we want to be the boss of a large organization and manage a group of employees well. But how should we do all this? Let's think about it. Can't we do it? No, we can do all of it. So what do we need? Only unwavering courage.
When we kneel and try to stand up, there is a possibility that we will fall down two or three times or even a hundred thousand times and even get various scars on our body. But do we always keep kneeling and crawling on that basis? No, right? In the same way, we should not back down because all our work was unsuccessful the first time. We should move forward with unwavering courage again. Then our ability to reach all our goals very quickly and rapidly will be strengthened.
The evil ones are waiting to see some good activities done in our society and criticize them. But the courage we have cannot be destroyed by a single word from those evil ones. No matter how much insults we receive, how should a courageous person not be discouraged and try to move forward? Just like a torch that has been turned upside down turns upside down again. We should strive to obtain such exemplary ideas as a light for our lives and act accordingly. That effort will shine in our own future like a diamond ornament shining around our neck. No one can prevent that shine. But we can prevent that shine ourselves. How? By becoming a person of courage after hearing the insults of others. That is why we should not be courageous.
If we can shine like a hot flame in every moment and in every place, it is a great wealth that we possess through the weapon called wisdom. It is impossible to decide at any moment when the life we have will fade away. That is why if we can live our lives in a way that is good for ourselves and others during the period we live, it is a great ornament.
The pot is gradually filled by filling the water drop by drop. By learning little by little, one becomes a scholar. By listening and following the Dhamma regularly, one practices it well. And by accumulating wealth little by little. In the same way, one should strive to gradually bring our lives forward in a right direction. That effort should not be done all at once. Just as in childhood, one would first try to stand up on one's stomach and then on one's knees? In the same way, we should strive.
Just as a well-made and skilled painter creates mountains, hills, plains, streams, and rivers on a flat canvas, so a person who is perfect in good qualities makes something appear as if it were something. We must have good qualities to act in that way. Likewise, we should not let any of our strengths discourage us because of someone's insults.
