265-I love the stupidity of my fellow men- Buddhism in daily life

I love the stupidity of my fellow men


In times of crisis the character of a person, the population,
shows! If yesterday we were good and noble, today everyone is the
next to himself.


Fights over toilet paper, the mother of a friend was stolen
noodles FROM THE SHOPPING TROLLEY, all of a sudden, all the
countries cut themselves off, yesterday still cosmopolitan and
tolerant, today closed and aggressive, within a few days, many of
my fellow men have turned into zombies, the Walking Dead, finally
live and in color.


So completely I can not understand the attitude of some zombies
(formerly fellow humans), we all have to die, so why this
inhumanity?


From Buddha this sentence seems to come: "In the society many
forget the most important, the humanity"!


Not stronger, further, higher, but more human, more conscious,
with decency, man should behave in difficult times.


Gandhi said: "You and I are one. I cannot hurt you without
hurting myself".


Now, concepts such as cohesion, help, understanding and
compassion are the values to live by. In good times and in bad
times, the wedding is called. Preaching values and ideals in good
times, it's not easy at all, but in a difficult phase, that's
when character shows itself. And believe me, the crisis passes,
the bad character remains.


A person feels transformed as soon as he is treated humanely.


In difficult moments, the words of the enlightened Buddha may
give comfort, his teaching is built on humanity. Take advantage
of the crisis and let yourself be inspired by the statements of
the holy man, bring peace and a stable center into your life
through his example, rethink the way you treat the people who are
close to you, go 'within yourself'.


A collective hypochondria towards the dangers of life is
counterproductive, LIFE IS DANGEROUS, we can all take our last
breath at any time, tomorrow is not today, what is to come is
uncertain, but how we live, we can determine, we can be measured
by it.


Albert Einstein, whom I adore, said, "Two things are infinite,
the universe and human stupidity, but I am not quite sure about
the universe."


And Confucius said, "Stupidity is not knowing little, nor wanting
to know little, stupidity is believing you know enough!"


I, for one, love the stupidity of my fellow man.


There is also a basic right to stupidity
