Am I The Only One?

Constantly as I am telling myself not to judge, there is always a tiny part in my brain that continues to do so.  There is always something that the mind needs to justify, as though that I am perfect.  As though that I do not make mistakes but others do.  As though that I live in a world of mindfulness and not others. My mind is wired to store information and all my experiences.  With all the stored information and experiences, my mind uses them to form expectation.  Judgements are expectations.  Should I want to minimize my judgemental mind, I have to continue to clean my storage bank of information and experiences. When I judge others, what does it say about me?  Obviously I am a self righteous, self justifying human being.  Clearly, my mind creates a hierarchy where I am better and superior than everyone and everything that I meet.  My arrogance has the urge to be right, to be better and to be superior. I wonder how much does my soul can tolerate?  Does my soul get burned out?  How

Is It Necessary?

My senses generate thousands and thousands of thoughts.  The brain is one busy organ and my mind formulates thoughts from all the five basic senses.  Should I don't learn to calm myself, these huge amounts of thoughts can trigger stress.  They can create havoc to my well being. Ideally, I have to live with what suits me best.  I have to empower my dominant thought.  I need to know what motivate me and abandon those that do not.  Dominant thoughts are the ones that shape my life the most.  Positive thoughts will make me positive and when I have dominant negative thoughts, I will be negative. With such a busy mind, I have to guard my mouth.  It is a little co-operation mechanism with my brain.  My mouth needs to know what is good, what is important, what is rationale and what is wise.   I have to ask myself before I speak - is it necessary to vocalize the unnecessary remarks?  Is it necessary to have the final word?  Is it necessary to add unrelated comments?  Worse, is it necessary

Beautiful Human

While I cannot be one hundred percent perfect, I can aim to be a beautiful human instead.  To do that, I have to be aware of how I think and how I behave.  I have to hear how I speak.  I have to observe how I act.  I need to be conscious of all my words, thoughts, deeds and actions. Do I know how am I as a person?  Consistently, I have to check if it is my arrogance speaking to me whenever I am interacting with others.  When I think intellect counts, do I know that the functions of intellect can be insufficient without compassion, empathy and love? To be a beautiful human, I have to be aware of my negative feelings.  When they are creeping upon me, do I recognise the danger of feeding those feelings and keeping them alive?  A beautiful human is a moral BEing that strives for harmony and upholds to that value. A beautiful human accepts people as they are.  Do I?  There is no judgement on colours, background, race or religion.  Am I?   He or she has a good heart with a kind soul.  Where
