    I’m trying to let go of my anger but I keep failing and failing. Once I my blood boils, I drop everything of what I learned and I say things and do things before even thinking of my consequences. Thank you Thich Nhat Hanh, I like your teachings

      It's very hard to control yourself in a heightened state. I allow myself to feel it in it's entirety by myself, I go away, scream into a pillow, cry, hit something soft like a plushie, and then I try implementing all these healthy mindsets when it's out of my system. I don't think it's realistic to try being zen when you're in the midst of your anger, emotional intelligence is very different from suppressing emotion.

    This is true unless the person is a narcissist. If they are they were deeply wounded as a child. They are unable to love, but can do a lot of harm with the way they manipulate, lie, gaslight, love bomb, etc. Take new relationships slowly!❤

    Strenghthening the watcher like sharpening the sword of presence lessens the anger waves; piece by piece anger subsides. At first it seems like a neverending monster, yet there are unexpressed tears, stoned feelings who need the rays of compassion coming from loving, warm-hearted humans.

    I tried this just now. I felt anger coming up because of something someone has done to me, and I tried to acknowledge and recognize their suffering. But I just couldn't. It's SO painful to acknowledge someone else's suffering when they have caused you so much unbearable pain. Because you ask yourself, what about my suffering? No one has ever acknowledged and recognized my suffering. So why should I do it with other people? is it because the anger is also hurting me? When will anyone ever care about making me suffer less?
    I know that they're suffering but when I try to transform it into compassion, it's too painful. It's like there's a thick barrier that holds me back. I am aware that I probably just need to practice until it works, since this is the first time I tried it. I took deep breaths, but pain took over me.

    plumvillageonline AT 11:15 I have a question to you guys from plumvillage. What is if I can't change my mom because she is psychological ill and depressed and it is really hard to talk to her. She never understood me and my problems and my sad feelings to my problems. What should I do? She is also giving wrong perception about my health issues and never care about my problems, even if after I talked to her several times. What shall I do? Should I accept that she is ill in mind? I can't change her but I dont want to change her either, because it seems hopeless.

      Im sorry you are going through this and that you are suffering. It sounds like you are in a powerful internal conflict. Like you love your mother and know of her illness. Does this perhaps cause you to judge your anger towards her for hurting you? To me it does not sound like there is anything wrong with your anger. It is very natural. It sounds like it is trying to inform you about what you need. With the insights you have, I can imagine it must be hard to feel just in feeling angry towards her. I can also imagine that you are feeling very guilty as a result. This may limit your ability feel compassion towards yourself, since we cannot be compassionate to that which we judge. What youre feeling is natural. It does not matter that you know she is ill. Your anger is letting you know that you need a change. It may be too much to ask of yourself to continue accepting abuse. You may need to practice love and compassion towards yourself and your anger and allow yourself to act. Not out of anger but out of what your anger is telling you.
      You deserve to feel safe and compassionate. This sounds impossible in your current situation. It is not compassionate to remain in something toxic. For you or your mother. You may not be able to distance yourself physically but perhaps you could do so mentally? Conjuring an image inside which feels like she cannot get to. I have used an image of myself as a child playing in the sandbox. Protected by a fierce but non violent warrior standing guard and keeping the person causing harm at bay.
      However this is just as a last case scenario. You need to get away from your abuser. It does not mean that you do not love her but without space to heal, you will not be able to help yourself, nor will you be able to help her in the future.
      It is not selfish. It is compassionate. Allowing someone to hurt us does not help the other person either.
      Protecting yourself is compassionate.
      Without doing so, how can you help anyone?
      Im sorry you are suffering and I understand that you do not want to hurt your sick mother. It sounds like you know that she does not want to hurt you either deep down. So why not help her by not allowing her to do something that will cause her suffering, like abusing you?
      You are important ❤

      @@davidlindsten1384 Hey David my brother, thank you very much for your text message. I still live with my mother together and of course I am training lovind kindness and loving speech to being compassionate towards me and to other human beings. Last year I had a big hate against all woman, I was kind of mysoginist, because woman caused me alot of suffering for my whole life wether it is at school at work, strangers or my own family. I was bullied by woman, I was the one who was humilated by woman, woman wanted to see me failing in my life, I was rejected by woman and I have never experienced or received love of any woman and I heard the bad experiences of men with woman, i saw woman who just live for their self enrichment for money and for beauty, so for superficial things. And there were alot of truth what I have experienced, I can't deny that. But I also know maybe not every woman is like that, it is just the pain what I have experienced and the pain began to be more worse and I was not compassionate to myself at some point...I had multiple headaches because of this. I was not calm in my mind and in my heart and if I have heard stories like cheating couples and that these couples are being selfish all the time and I compared to myself that I had never the chance to get a girlfriend in my life and I have cried alot because I am a short guy and I have not the best looking. Or another example: people who just thinking about sex and nothing more. Today it is like I have relieved a lot of burden and the heavy weight on my chest is becoming lighter. I have changed my mind and myself to be a better person. I know that I can only change myself for the better and being grateful and compassionate to me and accepting myself although it is hard sometimes to accept me -selflove is not easy to accept but I am training hard for that. I also know that when I have saved money that I will move from the apartment of my mother to begin a new life. I forgive her cause I know she is suffering and also I have to protect myself from her not being attacked all the time. It seems like I am alittle bit egoistic but when I begin a new life for myself I will write her a letter and explain her a last time what she had to do to reduce the pain she had in her past. I know it is difficult to change her or other people around me but I will try a last time to send her a letter. It is otherwise not a harmonious life for me if I continue live like this till the end of my life. I guess nobody wants to be called a drug dealer and being assaulted all the time with taking drugs or selling drugs if it is not true. And when it comes to woman I am totally fine with them. I am not disappointed nor I live with hate in my heart anymore. It seems like 2020 is going to be a great year with mindfullness, compassion, loving kindness and loving speech. I am also doing transcendental meditation and this also helps me to relieve stress of the day and being happier. I love you my brother and thank you for your kind words. :) P.S. Sorry if my english is not perfect, I was not the best student at school. This is my third language after turkish and german, but I hope you could understand what I want to say. :D Much love to you my friend. :)

      Reading your comment makes me feel a lot of respect for you. It must have been very hard for you to fight to keep your kind and wonderful heart when you have suffered so much. The fact that you faced your pain and worked to overcome your hate for women shows tells me you will do well in life. You are not egoistic. By protecting your heart you protect the gift you are to the world. And you are a gift. It must have been so hard for you to go through being bullied and humiliated. Feeling love for a sick person who is hurting you even though you know she doesnt want to. It was not your choice to be born into a situation of suffering like that. But you kept protecting and healing your heart by seeing and feeling the truth. Even though it must have hurt you so much.
      It is not your fault. Any of it. I love you too my brother and I wish you well on your journey.
      You have come a long way. If there is one message I want you to feel in your heart, it is this:
      It is ok. You are ok. What you need to do in order to keep your heart kind and true is ok. It is noble. Some day your mother may be helped. It is not under your control. I know that is almost impossible to grasp. Im almost ten years older than you and I still struggle with letting go of my guilt over not being able to help family members in pain. All I know is that, if you follow your heart. If you give yourself what you need in order to become balanced and happy. Full of love and contentment. All will benefit.
      Be well ❤

    But i find that with people who are always negative towards me and angry towards me, i say something nice to them and it still doesn't settle their negative energy, which is only directed at me, almost everyone i meet treats me this way and the older i get, the less time i have for it, the first chance i get i am going to go to fighting classes and then i will be less afraid of a verbal confrontation, i have to be who i am, i'm not taking shit from people anymore. I'm 28, everywhere i go, people abuse me, my sister married the most negative person i have ever met, he doesn't like me and lots of people don't like me because i have been cursed with talent, being good at things will make you enemies, everybody throws their negative energy my way, they have no idea how that feels for me, they only see my cooking, my paintings, my music, they don't see the real me, the anxious me, depressed, lonely, isolated, scared me, all they fucking do is look at me from the fringes and are blinded by their own idea of me. Then they wonder why i don't like them?, i'm not a goody two shoes, if you're not nice to me, then i will ignore you, and i don't care how annoying that is for you, you treated me like dirt so now i throw it back. Iif i was mean to someone and they got me back i would say, okay, fair enough i remember being mean to them first, and i have only done that to someone once, i said something unkind and he got me back for it, but the point is, i remembered it and i said okay fair enough to myself, and i moved on. Being nice means considering someone and considering others only makes them disrespect you...in a lot of cases. Gurdjieff had a whole bit on considering others, and basically said the same thing. I try everything with them, saying something nice, asking them questions about their life, complimenting them, giving them something, but still this negative attitude towards me...people are very mysterious...

      @JoeTrenk 3 роки тому +1

      Wrong perception means delusion. For example:
      You are in a relationship and you believe your partner is having sex with other men.
      This makes you angry but you don't now if this perception is true. But you believe it is.
      Mindfulness helps to see reality as it is and beyond any perceptions.
