If you saw it happening, how would you feel? Would you feel I am doing the right thing because I feel like it?
I cant guess how I would feel until I will feel it.
It is not because you do something that I think that you actually do what you feel.
I feel that most of the people are doing bad things even if they are good person. And I think that our life journey is only to discover who we really are.
I feel that people who act in a way that doesnt reflect who they really are, are in a permanent suffering.
You can do all the bad actions in the word and still not feel good about it, or just try to ignore that voice in you that tells you that it is wrong.
In the hindu philosophy, you will come back on this heart again and again untill you discover who you really are. So when I see somebody acting bad, I just smile and think "you'll be back for a spin on the wheel buddy"
That's why, in countries like India, nobody will stop for a person dying on the ground. If that person was a good one, it will make the union with the one, if it was a jerk, it will come back until it gets it right. There's nothing anybody can do about anybody else.
It's noone job to change anybody else. You can just share your feelings and maybe some person could open themselves to their own feelings and realise that, lets say they are using their anger in a meaningless way, like choping babies.
I like the sentence "People are better than their life"
One day one of my very close friends told me that he stopped being depressed the day we met. I didnt know that I had done that and even didnt know that he was depressed for the last 10 years because I didnt know him then.
Apparently it happened like this. One the first day I met him I said:
- how are you?
and he said
- I am depressed
and - apparently - I said - as a joke
- dont you have anything better to do than being depressed?
And for some reason, the light fall onto him and he just realised that yeah he had way better things to do than being depressed, that while being depressed he could not draw and paint and do all the things he really liked.
