This happens occasionally and it
happened again this morning, a car from a different lane, knowing that I was on
the lane still drove on and almost knocked into me. Making me swerve into a
different lane, fortunately the driver on the other lane noticed and slowed
down his car. The driver in his huge car acted as if nothing happened and just
drove on in spite of my honking and insistent glaring. They never bother, to
them here is a motorbike getting in their way.
The key is when an individual is
calmer that is, he is to understand the state of the world and where the rich
step on the weak and get away with it. Anger doesn’t solve anything. The anger
of a poor person only troubles himself and not others. Acknowledging the state
of the world and understanding how it works will get us another day to survive.
The world does not serve the poor, it oppresses them. Yea here I go again,
being bitter and spiteful, you say. No I am not. I am just saying it as it is
and I am not angry. I was angry that the driver didn’t care for a life and I was
angry for being weak… and after realizing that there is no way for
impartiality, I rode on.
If only the poor didn’t stick up
for the rich and stood up more for the poor. It would’ve made at least some
difference. I am grateful that I am still in one piece. I got lucky. Fellow
friends, understand how the world works, accept your destiny, and most
importantly work effortlessly on enhancing your spirituality; for in inner
peace lies all kinds of ease and in enriching the soul one discovers the key to
calmness. Let us be more accepting of who we are and pray to be people of
understanding and with loads of control over our temperaments.
My teacher once told me, “Don’t
fight for yourself, leave that to God. However, fight for the rights of others.”
