A little understanding for the other is everything

I want to ask You. It strikes me that sometimes people can easily have their mind set on everything, on the other and at the same time make very little effort and patience and spend time on the other for just asking a little bit, for just listening, for just showing a little understanding.
Well, You will go into this for sure?

My son, how can I not? Understanding is a manifestation of love.

Understanding is openness, understanding is willing to listen. Understanding is putting the ego aside and willing to see the other.
Understanding is finally really purely and lovingly grasping, holding, namely: getting a grip on reality, but not the own reality, but that of the other. The spiritual world is always and everywhere ready to send into the world the spirit of understanding. But there is a small thing needed, namely the willingness of man to see beyond his own nose. No more. The rest will come naturally.
Understanding is our passion. Understanding from man for man is our desire, our preference. Understanding is your future, your approach of many earthly problems.

You’ll achieve more with questions than with answers

I respect faith, but doubt is what gets you an education.-Wilson Mizner

I want to ask You. This quote made me realize doubting, not knowing and asking will bring you a lot more than all that knowledge, and that knowing exactly how things are. And I think that fundamentalists are doing this. They are too fascinated by knowing exactly how everything is and by boxing others ears with a book, how sad can you get it.

Would You like to comment on this quote?

My son, I would love to.

This quote says doubt is contributing more to education than faith does.
And in a sense this is true.
Will all good religious books and all websites and also this blogs be thrown away? Let's not do that. Because this all can help if someone is doubting or is looking for answers.

But ...... .it would be very nice, if someone somewhere has found an answer, he will realize very, very, very well that it really is only his answer in his life. And further on are his answers  completely worthless for another. For another might need different answers, and is perhaps asking other questions.

So the key of this saying is: be open, ask questions, doubt, and if you have found an inspiring answer, that's really just your truth, and nothing but interesting for you. And your answer is only interesting for another, if he has the same questions and really tends to find interesting the same answers. That’s it, that’s it. You can not force another to the same questions, and certainly not to the same answers. That is the epitome of spiritual primitiveness, so to speak spiritual behaviour of apes.

Wilson Mizner is therefore very blessed for this saying.

Who is actually in control in my life?

The bad news is time flies. The good news is you're the pilot (Michael Althsuler)

Would You like to comment on this?

Man is not a victim of time.

All day long he is choosing, he is responding, he is selecting. Man is in control in his life and when he reaches the end of his life, he sighs: "What has my life flied by." But it has not flied by, it was a long string of seconds and minutes, in which he made choices, and accepted things or avoided things.

Perhaps time has flied by, but man was rather very regularly waiting for something of struggling with something. And in the meantime God cherished the free and own will of man.

The bad news is that time does not fly by, but only afterwards in the memory of man.

The good news is that he indeed is the pilot of his life.
Michael Althsuler is blessed.

How easy is it to bother someone else with own ideals

It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them (Alfred Adler)

My God, would You like to comment on this quote?

My son, does this text not fit perfectly with fundamentalism? So to speak for all men bothering fellowmen with their own ideals?

One would become quiet and modest when one looked carefully at oneself. If one  at least honestly scrutinized if one was living one’s own ideals. Than pride and conceit will fade away. One will see than one has still a long path ahead.
Then one will be busy with own stuff. Then one will bother others anymore.
This is My comment.
Alfred Adler is blessed.
