Thus I have heard:
The Buddha said;
If you speak or act with a kind
bright heart, then happiness
follows you,
like a shadow
that never leaves.
Dhp 1-2
He
insulted me,
hit me,
beat me,
robbed me,--
for those who brood on this, hostility isn't stilled.
He
Insulted me
hit me
beat me
robbed me,--
for those who don't brood on this,
hostility is stilled.
Hostilities aren't stilled
through hostility,
regardless.
Hostilities are stilled
through non-hostility :
this, an unending truth.
Unlike those who don't realise
that we are here on the verge
of perishing,
those who do,
their quarrels are stilled.
Dhp 3-6
..................
"Did you know that some people just exist to spoil others joy?
Ones whole life should not be dictated to, or even bullied by another, albeit someone mentally ill.
I suppose when one sees ones time is finishing, fear starts to take over. Unfortunately there are those who refuse to accept that this type of suffering can be overcome.
What to do?
Mental illness is so sad.
To be compassionate,
so hard.
What a lesson!
When we learn to let go of the minds rubbish, we start to see reality. We don't add extra rubbish, to the rubbish,
that's already there.
"Why does this happen to me?
What's wrong with me?
Maybe it's my fault?"
Etc, etc, etc.
We let go and avail ourselves of the wonders that are around us.
So......
"Out of every seed of adversity, comes a benefit."
When we sow seeds,
we reap huge benefits.
Hostility is stilled,
Quarrels are stilled.
