Human Character

Few Thoughts About Human Character
 

What makes character, and how do we find if we have it? This is something many of us think about and ponder, while measuring ourselves and hoping that we are doing right by ourselves and building the kind of character we want to have. These thoughts are put here in an honest and lovely way...
 

WHAT I LEARNED FROM LIFE

Life is the greatest teacher of all, it doesn't just teach us about dealing with problems, but about ourselves, our hidden potential, our hidden weakness. Here are just a few of the lessons life taught us...

 

The Words that Will Build You Up!

The Words that Will Build You Up!

Words can be like bricks. If thrown at you in anger, they can hurt and injure you.
But if they are used wisely, with compassion and understanding, they can be arranged to build you up; to build up your understanding, your peace of mind, and even to create a foundation on which a life is built. So have no fear, these words are all on your side - read them and have yourselves a wonderful, peaceful day.

Acceptance and Appreciation

Acceptance and Appreciation

Life is open just like a door. When we label ourselves as doors, and when we become conscious of our own labeling; then we create the personality of a door and the opportunity to close that door We become selective. This is good this is bad. This hurts me, this is ok. I like this. I don't like that. All of that means closing the door and opening the door according to that created personality.
Acceptance means to be part of life, not separated from it. Acceptance is to observe, watch, acknowledge, then we can appreciate.
Acceptance, appreciation of the situation as it is and then moving on by creating a new situation based on spiritual values, means respecting life as it is, without trying to control it, without trying to close a door which is meant to be open.

 

The Rainbow of experiences in Life

  The Rainbow of experiences in Life
 

​
 

 

In Life there are many experiences. Those experiences run through all the different “shades of colors” that we could imagine. To be experienced in Life means to have gone through all of them. It is through that experience how insight develops. All of those colors are “good” for to experience one means to naturally go into another.

 
Any person that we see at this point, is representing a particular color at this time. He may think that “his” color is the “truth,” but that color will need to change to keep on experiencing Life.
“Look at Mr,x… what a humble guy, he is!”
Believe me, he was a proud individual at one point in time through his different experiences in Life OR he will be a proud, ego centered guy.
That is what I mean when I say “shades of colors in Life.”
Religious minded people may not use the terms “shades of colors.” They will use: “Good and Bad.”
What is in between that “Good and Bad”?
“Normal.” The mob.
The ones who are neither saints nor sinners.
That labeling has done so much harm in our society for centuries.
Life = Shades of colors to experience, that is all.
If we understood the above analogy, we could see clearly that consciousness will change by itself as the shades of colors change through experiencing Life.
No one could be truly “good” without having experienced being “bad.”
Do we see that?
That is how a “saint” will look at anyone knowing that a particular shade of color at a particular time is not the “rainbow” of a person, but to appreciate the rainbow means to be able to perceives its capacity to display all colors.
That is the beauty of the rainbow.
On the other hand, for most people: “Red is good, Indigo is bad. Blue is immoral. Yellow is saintly.”
Without that experience, all we have left is to follow a particular “moral code” to make us believe that we are “being good.”
That is the dissonance between “being” and “doing.”
That is how external actions or protocols will trap the consciousness of an individual.
“If I don’t do these things, my peers/family/society/love ones/God/ etc./ will think low of me.”
That is when consciousness is secluded to live under a box, a cubicle with no windows or doors for the sake of “acting good.”
Experiences are not “good or bad.” Just different shades, different colors to feed our consciousness with material to be assimilated, processed and then changed into a new outlook in Life.
Anything that happens, any experience is meant to be “raw material” for further processing.
Knowing all of the above, how is it possible to believe that a method, a religious path or a philosophy or someone could change the consciousness of an individual?
But… a saint came up out of this religious path!
Wrong.
The particular experience of being in a particular religious path was the catalyst to bring the accumulated raw material from many life times, into fruition, but that does not mean that everyone is already at the same level of experiences or that everyone must do the same as this “saint” to become a “saint.” It does not mean that this particular religious path or method is “the method” for the “whole world.”
It does not work that way, because every single individual is living a particular “shade of color” which will need to transform by itself and not by the compulsion of following a method.
To go deeply into the above, not as a mental exercise or as an intellectual debate but by looking at our own life experiences, means to liberate ourselves from the cage of searching for a savior or “salvation.”
There is none. It was never needed.
That is why, myself only repeats endlessly: Enjoy your current experience.
It will change, but if you learn to enjoy them… then you will be enjoying Life as “it is” and that in itself is the catalyst for greater amplitude of mind, amplitude of consciousness; for enjoyment is about appreciation and as mentioned before, the way to expand our consciousness is through appreciation of the experiences brought to us by Life itself.
 

See the rainbow of every individual, not just the color being presented at one time. It is in that way how our lives could be a rainbow to be appreciated by the ones who are only aware of being just a color in Life.

အေမဟူသည္သူ၏ ရင္ေသြးကို ဝမ္းၾကာတိုက္ထဲတြင္ ကိုးလခန္႔လြယ္ကာ ပဋိသေႏၶတည္ရသည့္ ဒုကၡကို မိခင္ေမတၱာျဖင့္ ရင္ဆိုင္ခဲ့သူျဖစ္သည္။ ရင္ေသြးငယ္ကို ကလလေရၾကည္ သေႏၶတည္ခ်ိန္မွစ၍ အ႐ြယ္ႀကီးရင့္သည့္တိုင္ မေျပာင္းလဲေသာ ေမတၱာတရားျဖင့္ ေအးျမရိပ္ကို ေပးၿမဲျဖစ္သည္။ ထိုကဲ့သို႔ေသာ မိခင္ေမတၱာတရားကို ဘယ္အရာႏွင့္မွ ႏိႈင္းယွဥ္၍ မရႏိုင္ေပ။

“အေမေတြဟာ သားသမီးနဲ႔ ပတ္သက္လာရင္ ႏူးညံ့စြာ ခ်စ္တတ္သေလာက္ သားသမီးအေရး ႀကံဳလာရင္လည္း ေၾကာက္စရာ ေကာင္းေလာက္ေအာင္ သတၱိေတြ ထြက္လာတတ္ၾကတယ္” ဟု သားသမီးမ်ားအေပၚ ထားရွိသည့္ မိခင္ေမတၱာ ႀကီးမားပုံႏွင့္ အံ့ၾသစရာ ေကာင္းလွသည့္ မိခင္၏ သတၱိမ်ားကို သမီးတစ္ဦး၏ မိခင္ မခ်စ္စႏၵီက ေျပာျပသည္။

ထိုကဲ့သို႔ မိမိရင္ေသြး အႏၲရာယ္ကင္းစြာ လူလားေျမာက္ေစရန္အတြက္ ေမတၱာတရားျဖင့္ ထိန္းကြပ္ေပးကာ လိုအပ္ပါက မိမိ၏ အသက္ကိုပင္ စြန္႔ရန္ ဝန္မေလးၾကသည့္ မိခင္မ်ားအတြက္ မိခင္ေန႔ဆိုကာ သီးသန္႔ေန႔ရက္တစ္ရက္ ေပၚထြက္လာခဲ့သည္။

အေမရိကန္ျပည္ေထာင္စုတြင္ ၁၉၀၈ ခုႏွစ္က Anna Jarvis ဆိုသူ အမ်ဳိးသမီးသည္ သူ၏ မိခင္ကို သတိတရ လြမ္းဆြတ္ေသာအားျဖင့္ မိခင္မ်ားေန႔ကို စတင္က်င္းပခဲ့သူ ျဖစ္သည္။ Anna Jarvis သည္ အေမမ်ားေန႔ကို ႏိုင္ငံေတာ္အားလပ္ရက္ ျဖစ္ေစရန္အတြက္ သူ၏မိခင္ ကြယ္လြန္ခဲ့သည့္ ၁၉၀၅ ခုႏွစ္ ကတည္းက ႀကဳိးပမ္းခဲ့သည္။ Anna Jarvis ၏ ႀကဳိးပမ္းမႈမွာ အေမရိကန္ ေတာင္ပိုင္းႏွင့္ေျမာက္ပိုင္း ျပည္တြင္းစစ္ ျဖစ္ေနခ်ိန္ဝယ္ ႏွစ္ဖက္စလုံးမွ ဒဏ္ရာရ စစ္သားမ်ားကို ျပဳစုကုသေပးၿပီး Mother's Day Work Clubs မ်ား ထူေထာင္ကာ ျပည္သူလူထု က်န္းမာေရးအတြက္ လႈပ္ရွားခဲ့ျခင္းျဖစ္သည္။

Anna Jarvis ၏ ႀကဳိးပမ္းမႈေၾကာင့္ အေမမ်ားေန႔ကို တရားဝင္ က်င္းပႏိုင္ခဲ့သည္။ ယခုအခါ ကမာၻတစ္ဝန္းတြင္ အေမမ်ားေန႔ကို က်င္းပေနၾကေသာ္လည္း သတ္မွတ္ရက္မ်ားေတာ့ မတူၾကေပ။ သို႔ရာတြင္ ႏိုင္ငံအမ်ားစုသည္ ေမလ ဒုတိယပတ္ တနဂၤေႏြေန႔ကို အေမမ်ားေန႔အျဖစ္ သတ္မွတ္က်င္းပၾကသည္။

“ဘယ္ေန႔မွေတာ့ လြယ္လြယ္ကူကူ ျဖစ္မလာၾကပါဘူး။ အေမေန႔ဆို ၁၉၀၈ ခုႏွစ္ ေမလ ၁၀ ရက္တုန္းက ဖီလာဒဲလ္ဖီးယားျပည္နယ္မွာ စတင္က်င္းပခဲ့တာ။ ဒါေပမဲ့ တစ္ကမာၻလုံးအႏွံ႔ ပ်ံ႕ႏွံ႔ဖို႔ကေတာ့ ႏွစ္ ၁၀၀ ေက်ာ္ေအာင္ ၾကာခဲ့တယ္” ဟု စာေရးဆရာ လူသာမန္က ေျပာျပသည္။

ျမန္မာႏိုင္ငံတြင္လည္း အေမမ်ားေန႔ကို ျပာသိုလျပည့္ေန႔အျဖစ္ သတ္မွတ္ခဲ့သည္။ ျမန္မာႏိုင္ငံတြင္ အေမမ်ားေန႔ကို စတင္အသက္သြင္းခဲ့သူမွာ စာေရးဆရာ၊ ဒါ႐ိုက္တာ ဦးသုခ ျဖစ္သည္။

“ဆရာႀကီးဦးသုခက ၁၉၇၀ ျပည့္ မတ္လ ၂၀ ရက္ေန႔ထုတ္ လုပ္သားသတင္းစာမွာ ထိုတစ္ေန႔ဆိုတဲ့ ေဆာင္းပါးေရးၿပီး အေမေန႔က်င္းပဖို႔ လႈံ႔ေဆာ္ခဲ့တယ္။ ဆရာႀကီး ေျပာခဲ့တာေလး ရွိတယ္။ ‘ျမန္မာ့ရာသီဥတု ေတြထဲမွာ အေအးဆုံး၊ အၾကည္လင္ဆုံး၊ အသာယာဆုံးလဟာ ျပာသိုလပဲ။ အဲဒီလရဲ႕ ေန႔တစ္ေန႔ကို အေမေန႔လို႔ သတ္မွတ္ၿပီး အေမအေၾကာင္း ဝတၳဳ၊ ေဆာင္းပါး၊ ကဗ်ာ၊ သီခ်င္း စတဲ့ ၿပဳိင္ပြဲေလးေတြ လုပ္ခ်င္တယ္။ ကိုယ့္အေမကို အမွတ္တရ လက္ေဆာင္ေတြေပး၊ ဝတ္ႀကီးဝတ္ငယ္ေတြပါ ျပဳလုပ္ေပးတဲ့ အခမ္းအနားမ်ဳိး လုပ္ေပးခ်င္တယ္ကြာ’ တဲ့” ဟု စာေရးဆရာ လူသာမန္က ဆိုသည္။

Humility means to understand the self and through that to understand others as well. Humility is the attitude where a person is not attached to his or her opinion and feelings. Humility is the most natural expression of truth. It helps in better understanding of truth. Humility is the basis for maintaining self-respect. Humility does not mean bowing down and being subservient to others. Humility allows you to see benefit in everything. Developing humility brings a lot of comfort and ease into your life.

Give your Best

We normally tend to expect the same kind of results constantly.
Although the effort put in is not so constant, we expect good results
always. Yet we do not find it happening all the time. When we do not
get the desired results, at that time we don't remember that it is
our lack of effort that actually brought us poor results. The only way
to experience constant good results is to put in effort constantly.
Whether the situations are bad, or even if we do not get any
encouragement from others, we need to go on giving our best. Only with
this will we be able to experience constant success. There would be the
satisfaction of giving the best even when the results take time to
come.

I fear

I fear

Fear is the most destructive of all human diseases. Fear is a lie. It's a fabrication of the mind, designed to protect you, but does it? No. It paralyzes you, IF you let it. Fear is false, danger is real. Danger can hurt you, run from danger. Do not run from your fears. Conquer them. Never run from that which you want. YOU stand on this earth, fear does not. Dare to control it. Dare to rise above it. Dare to be great.

Self Discovery

Change Skill

Change Skill

There is nothing more certain than that the world will continue to change. Accepting and not resisting this is the first and most important inner skill in this frenetically changing, modern world. Life tests us every day to see how well we have developed this ability. Equally, there is nothing more real than the inner space within each of us that never ever changes. We may change our thoughts, our feelings, even our sense of who we are, but we fail to visit the unchanging centre of our own self. The ability to be in this inner space, where our peace is found, when all around would prefer chaos and crisis, is the deepest spiritual change skill. It is the eye of the storm, it is the oasis in the desert, it is the place where peace is power. Call in today. You'll be surprised how much it can influence and change everything and everyone around you!


Effective Correction

When we find someone making mistakes, we tend to react to those
mistakes and point them out to the person. We make sure we go on
talking about it till the other person realizes his mistake. But
usually there is no benefit for the other person in any way by talking
about weaknesses. Either the person doesn't want to or doesn't have the
courage to accept. When we recognize someone's mistake, before we tell
him about it, we need to ensure that he does not lose his courage to
move forward because of our correction. For this we need to point out
his mistake with love, and also before doing so we need to appreciate
something good in him. Then our correction will be effective.
