In
fact, there are no so called pure good people or so called pure bad
people. Everyone has got some goodness and some selfishness or
imperfections at the same time.
The only differences are how many
percentage of positive and negative elements in a person and how much we
can have self control over our actions, speech and thoughts.
Either
we will hurt somebody through our selfish actions and speech or we can
help others through our selfless actions and speech.
And all these are not fixed or permanent, because every moment there is changes going on in everyone.
A good man can change over night and become bad. So does a bad man can change over night and become good.
A so called good man might do something bad in his lifetime, and a so called bad man might do something good too.
Until
one day we had purified our mind, have total control of the mind and we
are identified with the pure consciousness which has no quality, no
intention, no name and no form.
We need to learn to accept
ourselves as imperfect that we all have weaknesses and different
cultures, and then it is possible for us to accept other people being
imperfect and not the same as everyone too.
We need to be able to
forgive ourselves and then only we can forgive other people. If not we
will never be in peace no matter how much we strive to look for
peacefulness.
How can we be happy about other people when we are not happy with our own selves?
Stop feeling guilty about the past mistakes, we can’t change anything from the past, but we can decide our future.
Guilt is a big hindrance for us to advance in the path of self realization.
It
is wasting lots of energy and does not help us at all. Just drop it and
move forward with the awareness of not to commit the same mistake
again.
Constantly forgive, let go and move on.
But not let
this be an excuse for us to be loose on morality and to commit any evil
action. Because we still have to confront all the karma that we have
committed. The bad actions that we do now will soon come back to us.
