Summoning: The Taste of Grief

'Love those who hate you...'
- Leo Tolstoy

It is sometimes more disturbing to understand that one is in such a state of pity, that he/she has no right to offer judgment, rather is a mere object in this schematic, disturbed by an action, and has no right to react. If God alone was responsible was the creation, he himself is responsible for the action as well, which would invite a logical remark : he himself is responsible for the reaction. It is not a noble deed to react on our own, act on our will, but need to show restraint, and allow god to direct us to react...

Life is an ever learning experience, I always acknowledge this fact. But, did I really live the experience? learn from it? Cheated, am I by my own self ? Is it a reflection of my value education or my principles? Dignity of thought is always a yardstick to judge ourselves, and I have come to believe it is truly so. Dignity of our conscious actions will help us in being true to our values and self. This post is a record for this overwhelming emotion. This world will have to learn to seek value and dignity, there will be a moment in our lives when each one of us wishes to seek forgiveness but it would be uncalled for, more so might not be well received...
Apt are the following words...

"...Love those that hate you, but to love those one hates is impossible. Forgive me for having troubled you. Every one has enough to bear in his own grief! ..."

Is there an appropriate ending to this pressing emotion or this post ? My answer is No...

P.S.: After reading the above post, if you felt it meant something, then I shall be happy that you have seen reason... if you feel it was irrelevant, then probably you are right.

Yes Abhi
I agree with you that love and hate cannot go together. It does not apply to people who live in a world of reality, unlike sages, addicts, psychopaths or mentally disturbed. Because one's wisdom can give oneself an insight into the pain one experiences and definitely allows oneself to know whether the cause was deliberate or accidental.
Intentionally caused pain can never be forgiven.The source of pain can never be loved by the betrayed.
Keep up the creativity.

Wishes,
Bhavana Jayanthi

True, it is interesting to see you speak of forgiveness, which will make an interesting argument.
