LIVING IN HARMONY

In life, we will meet a lot of different types of people. Diverse in characteristics, personalities, likes, dislikes and we will have different perspectives in lives. People are different on how they take something emotionally, how they judge or don’t judge others. How they perceive certain situations and how they would react to certain situations. We have so so many different types of people in this world. Where everyone is inter-connected is some ways whether we like it or not.

We have to live in harmony with all of these people. At work, in relationships with friends, in relationships with loved ones and everyone you meet along the way. Every single person you meet.

Now, I wanna ask you. Is living in harmony important?

Well, of course. Who likes to be in a fight with another person. The next thing you know the fight ruins your whole day or the girl or the guy you really love walks out of you or your mother just suddenly stops talking to you.

I think, in my opinion, everyone actually wants to live in harmony with everyone else who they have to live with, who are in their lives whether they choose for them to be in their lives or not.

True?

So, as I have mentioned earlier, we are ALL different from one another. Yes, you may find someone who like the same things like you do and maybe find someone who has the same belief system as you do. You may also find someone who has the same personality type as you do. BUT trust me, we are all actually very different from one another.

The first step to living in harmony is to understand that very important and only HARD fact. It is hard to keep being reminded that the other person we are talking to is different from us because as a human being, it is in our survival nature to protect ourselves. We tend to think of our own selfish reasons to stand up for ourselves. Without reminding ourselves that we are all different.

Now, do you see why we are all always fighting with each other? Hating another for no reason? Bad-mouthing your best friend out of nowhere?

Because we forget. We always do.

It is hard to instil this belief in the people you are intertwined with in life. Yeah, how are you gonna tell them this right? Especially when that person already hates you or when that person is fighting with you. I think they will give you the silent treatment and ignore you if you do.

Maybe we could try to do it ourselves first. See how we feel about it when we do keep a reminder every time something is off or the next time we know we are about to get into an argument with someone.

And then maybe we could try to make them understand of this theory on how to live in harmony with each other. So, you act nice first and try to understand them and then try to ask them why they are acting like such a bitch.

Sounds like a plan huh? Hehe

Let’s get on this journey of trying to live in harmony with the people in your life!

Good Luck!
