tseecka Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I read this on a blog I follow yesterday, and it really stuck with me. It's long, but worthwhile reading, I think. “Imagine you’re rowing a boat on a foggy lake, and out of the fog comes another boat that crashes into you! At first you’re angry at the fool who crashed into you — what was he thinking! You just painted the boat. But then you notice the boat is empty, and the anger leaves … you’ll have to repaint the boat, that’s all, and you just row around the empty boat. But if there were a person steering the boat, we’d be angry! Here’s the thing: the boat is always empty. Whenever we interact with other people who might “do something to us†(be rude, ignore us, be too demanding, break our favorite coffee cup, etc.), we’re bumping into an empty boat. We just think there’s some fool in that boat who should have known better, but really it’s just a boat bumping into us, no harm intended by the boat. That’s a hard lesson to learn, because we tend to imbue the actions of others with a story of their intentions, and how they should have acted instead. We think they’re out to get us, or they should base their lives around being considerate to us and not offending us. But really they’re just doing their thing, without bad intent, and the boat just happens to bump into us.†-Originally from Everyday Zen by Charlotte Joko Beck, paraphrased by Leo Babauta 1 Quote TseeckaLvl 2 Amazonian AdventurerSTR: 8 DEX: 5 STA: 3.5 CON: 6.5 WIS: 6.5 CHA: 1.5 "When you have eliminated the impossible, what remains, however improbable, must be the truth."~*~Exercise daily if convenient.
