寧靜的心跡(50) 不要在恨中作決定


恨是一種強烈的情感,當我們感到被傷害,恨就會在心中滋長。然而,在恨的心態中作出重大的決定,往往會導致後悔。這是因為恨會讓我們忽略事實和邏輯,產生偏見,失去對自己和別人的同情心和同理心,並陷入負面情緒的惡性循環之中。

世上的恨都有緣故,那些感受深刻的恨,更是由感受者直接參與造成的。也許我們想把責任推到別人身上,但卻無法開脫。因為我們生活在這個世界上,就有責任去減少恨,以保障自己的生命。

恨是對生命的抗拒,因此不應該在恨中作決定。恨會帶來更多的恨,危及我們的生命。我們要在愛中作決定,因為愛是對生命的接納,能將愛傳遞給更多人,並讓生命生生不息。

這樣並不意味著壓抑恨,而是接受它。不在恨裡作決定,僅意味著把恨放在一邊,不讓它主導我們。帶著恨,我們會變得消極、悲觀和焦慮,不能作出對生命有益的決定,並會導致盲目冒險和破壞。所有負面情緒都有類似恨的效果,我們也應該避免作出情緒化的決定。

當感到憤怒、失望或傷心時,我們應該接受恨,因為它是一種正常的情感。但我們也應該忽略它,讓它自行消失。把關注點放到創造上,儘快回歸到愛中,讓理性重新主導我們的心靈。冷靜下來後,我們就有時間了解事情的真相,以及思考可能的解釋,並理解別人的感受和動機。當我們的內心充滿了愛,自然就沒有恨的位置了。

愛符合生命的最高意義,能讓我們活得更喜悅、有意識、真實和自由。愛從愛我們自己的生命開始,然後愛其他生命,最終愛大自然和世界。而恨的本質是毀滅這些愛,進而毀滅生命,所以它會讓我們陷入無盡的悲傷之中。

因此,如果還沒有感到愛,那我們就多等一會,暫時不要為人生作出重大的決定。學會舒緩自己的情緒,快速找回內心的平靜,我們就能遠離恨所帶來的危險。更重要的是,我們應該培養自己的意識和理智,這樣就不容易有恨。

The path to Tranquility (50)
Don’t make decisions in hatred


Hatred is a strong emotion that grows within us when we feel hurt. However, making significant decisions while in a mindset of hatred often leads to regret. This is because hatred can cause us to ignore facts and logic, develop biases, lose sympathy and empathy for ourselves and others, and become trapped in a vicious cycle of negative emotions.

All hatred in the world has its reasons, and those hatreds that are deeply felt are caused by the direct participation of those who feel them. Maybe we want to put the blame on others, but we cannot absolve ourselves of responsibility. Because we live in this world, we have the responsibility to reduce hatred in order to protect our own lives.

Hatred is a resistance to life, so decisions should not be made in hatred. Hatred will bring more hatred, endangering our lives. We must make decisions in love, because love is the acceptance of life, which can pass love to more people and make life endless.

This does not mean suppressing hatred, but rather accepting it. Not making decisions in hatred simply means putting hatred aside and not letting it dominate us. With hatred, we become negative, pessimistic, and anxious, unable to make decisions that benefit life, and may lead to blind risks and destruction. All negative emotions have a similar effect to hatred, and we should also avoid making emotional decisions.

When we feel angry, disappointed, or sad, we should accept hatred because it is a normal emotion. But we should also ignore it and let it go away on its own. Put our focus on creation, return to love as soon as possible, and let reason dominate our minds again. After calming down, we have time to understand the truth of the matter, as well as think about possible explanations, and understand the feelings and motivations of others. When our hearts are filled with love, there is naturally no place for hatred.

Love is in line with the highest meaning of life and allows us to live more joyfully, consciously, authentically and freely. Love begins with loving our own lives, then loving other lives, and ultimately loving nature and the world. The essence of hatred is to destroy this love and ultimately destroy life, so it will plunge us into endless sorrow.

Therefore, if we don't feel love yet, let's wait a little longer and don't make any major life decisions yet. Learn to soothe our emotions and quickly regain inner peace, so we can stay away from the danger that hatred brings. More importantly, we should cultivate our consciousness and reason, so that we do not easily have hatred.
