i listen to a lot of things like audio books or lectures and things like that
anything interesting where concepts are shared, i try to peep things like that so here's one thing i heard that i want to share one guy said that most pain is derived from self centeredness he said basically that if you love others more than you love yourself then you rid yourself of a lot of pain like being offended for example.. like if you are not self oriented then you are not even focused on how a person may have offended you- instead you are focused on how you can make another person happy/comfortable or say you go to work and you hate your job if you can completely neglect 'self' then you can overcome the job instead of saying "this is boring" or "this is stupid" because things are not agreeing with your comfort level.. he says you should surrender your comfort completely to do the allotted task.. so your internal dialogue would be more like "how can i do the best job possible?" or "how can i exceed the allotted expectations for the greater good?" the complete surrender of self centeredness is a tool to overcome many obstacles and frustrations how many times do you hear someone saying how they are upset because someone did them wrong? well if we truly love others more than we love ourselves, and we regard them as being above us, walking constantly in meekness and humility.. would that even be an issue to us? if we are concerned more about giving than taking.. if we are more concerned about being polite to others than we are about them being polite to us.. then what can come against us? the complete abandonment of self centeredness is like a freedom from the common frustrations that most are subject to do u peeps think this is legit? i think it is and of course we've all heard this stuff before, but the way he broke it down made it make a lot more sense
