It's true indeed, that some of us, don't count our blessing. Instead we find ourselves always complaining and whining. We compare ourselves with our neighbors in terms of earthly possessions, or we find ourselves indulging in self-pity. Or we find ourselves regretting on the good deeds that we have done, especially if the people whom we shared our love and kindness do not repay us or don't have sense of gratitude. These kind of emotional interplay in our being for sure would rob us of inner peace and happiness. Writer Mashilo Thomas wrote a beautiful and profound article which says:
Let go of those who don't care about you
Let go of those who are jealous of you,
All of those who are pretentious and malicious, let go,
Let go of those who betrayed you and hurt you for they are not worth of your love
Those who gossip about you, just let them go,
Let go of those who are utilizing you for their own interest,
what matters most is that you have helped them,
Let go of those who don't cherish you,
Let go of all the stresses and devastation
Let go of all insults and underestimation,
Let go of all your encounters who have treated you shabbily,
for they are not worth remembering,
Let go of those pains and bitterness that you have experienced in your life,
If you keep on dwelling with it, you'll be the losser,
Let go of those who have cheated you, for a time will come that all the things they
did to you will boomerang to them for life has its own karma,
Let go of all your grievances and entrust everything to the Lord.
Remember God loves you and you are a child of the universe.
Be still and have peace within.
