a few insights that could be handy...?!
1) being "afraid" is not always a bad thing. Take for example the following idea: "being afraid of making God and/or people angry" because we wish not to offend them. Imagine that the powerful God finds not much need to exercise power due the response to bad human behaviours. Instead He/She is our friend and great companion. It is a great feeling to have the wonderful Creator walking among His creation. Should He/She be allowed to do that peacefully?
2) finding out how our inner self are faring. indentify the inner struggle that lead to certain outward behaviours. (I find this useful). I know now that slience is very golden. Our deeds are known by some somehow....
3) forgive others for try to prove themselves worthy of something in unpleasant manners. I think we all need to be worthy of something.
4) situations are often too complicated for anyone to take sides.
5) reverse some common thinking/ psychology. e.g. instead of "if there is a problem, there maybe/ is a solution"; try "if there are solutions available then there must be problems that can be solved".
6) for any topic to hard to understand try something familiar to you that have the most in common to it. then work your way up....
7) cherish mainly the spoken words that are the results of a thorough (careful and complete) thought process (i.e. when careful thoughts have been given to questions etc.)
Hope these go down well. I do have faith that some peace and calm can exist if most of the civilians attempt something similiar to the above.
PS: Sorry about the formality!
post is opened to individual insights to peaceful and sincere ways of life. :)
