Hello Anita,

I have to take a deep breath and say “I do not have anger” Nor did I have anger when I replied to the OP. The reasoning is to reach deep inside of her mind and pull the person out of self pity and depression. A slap in the face of the hysterical person. There was no anger nor hatred. It was done out of love for the person in grief/hysteria. However, people do not see beyond what they can understand. And reference whatever it is they know.

My words were not out of anger. It was more of a plea to stop the self destructive behavior and move on. How the person takes it is another matter. This, I have no way of seeing the truth. So, I must take time away from people’s troubles and emotional swings to find what it is in myself that is truth.

The story of the farmer is an interesting one. One day a farmer walked into the horse stall only to see his horse run away. He could not catch it. And the neighbors all said what a pity that your horse ran away. The next day the horse came back with another horse. Apparently the horse was looking for its companion. The neighbors said, how lucky you are to have two horses. When the son tried to train the horse, his son fell off and broke his leg. The neighbors said, how terrible the new horse caused your son to break his leg. The next day, the government came by to conscript all the men in the village. When they saw the farmer’s son, they left him cause he had a broken leg. The neighbors said, how lucky your son has a broken leg.

So, what is the truth? Does the truth change from one moment to the next depending upon the present conditions? Nothing arises without cause and condition. Truth should be true no matter the conditions? I do not know and that is what I need to work on and myself. So, thank you for your help and well wishes. I will check my anger the next time I speak.
