Exceed affirmation based on rules made by humans

“Will I be rewarded if I live at all?”
Yes, that's right.
Simply because your breathing isn't denied by anyone, and you're taking a big breath without asking for affirmation, you can think that your life, existence, and survival have been completely affirmed by both God and the Buddha. More importantly, don't worry, they are living freely and majestically from the rules of the human world, beyond both affirmation and denial of the human world. Please be free from the rules that humans in the human world have made without permission. I shouldn't have cared about that originally, so that's fine.

“I get involved with strange people, shocking things happen in relationships, and I'm blamed.”
There are strange people, aren't there?
That person was also treated strangely by other strange people, and they are probably falling into a strange mentality.
It's just that those people are full of things in their lives that are shocked or blamed in relationships. People who live at the center of their lives have only their own rules, so they often clash with others. That's why Buddhism says that selfish rules, ego, and selfishness aren't good. If there is a shortage of good bacteria for the mind, humans will get more and more heart disease. It will save you even if you are in a bad situation. It is the Buddha's teaching that it can save even such people.

“I don't do it because I think it's selfish, bad talk, or annoying.”
That's pretty good. It's amazing. It's admirable. Please keep going.

“Free-spirited? Aren't you foolish to do whatever you want to people who are alive?”
Actually, I can't hide my true intentions. I know that I did bad things when I was young, and I actually did bad things myself just trying to affirm myself through you. If you really face it, it caused trouble to the people at the store, and if you did the same thing to yourself, that person would be extremely troubled. So be aware that this is a form of lying to yourself. I'm not being sly. It's weak. He's just a liar.

“I want to affirm this way of life.”
It's fine. It's a great way to live.
Furthermore, let's study this human world.
Oh, all humans care about themselves, so it can be seen that in an attempt to protect themselves, they sometimes act bossy, exaggerate, take mounts, become aggressive, and even lie to themselves to the point where they are stubborn.
Then you will become stronger. You'll be able to guide yourself and others in a good direction.

“Others are others” There is no need to be disturbed by the behavior of those around you.

Thank you for your consultation. I think that feeling of “wanting to affirm” your own way of life trying to live a proper life is very wonderful. By all means, please walk your own path with a sense of pride.

The question is “if you live properly, will you be rewarded?” but in Buddhism, “correctness (correctness)” indicates an act called the “eight proper ways” (orthodoxy, “correct view,” proper work, etc.). It is not about gaining profit or loss or material benefits in this world; it is a path leading to peace of mind (a world without suffering).

I understand the feeling of being “sly” when you see people who have made mistakes in the past or who act freely without looking back on their surroundings. However, acts that cause trouble to others always come back to that person themselves as “causal retaliation.” Even if it seems like they are living a normal life now, they are tormented by a sense of regret in the depths of their hearts, and eventually face some kind of trouble. In the end, it is the person himself who really suffers from his own wrongful acts, so it can be said that it is very sorry.

The way others live is decided by others. You don't need to be disturbed by the behavior of your surroundings. “Others are others, I am me.” Please don't let go of your honesty and cherish your life with pride.

Good causes

I read it.
Aren't you fooled to look at other people's ways of life? It makes me feel that, doesn't it? You want to live by affirming your own way of life, right? I don't know the details about you or the people around you, but I accept your feelings from the bottom of my heart.

I think you want to live your life exactly the way you live your life.
It is very precious for you to live your life properly. As you willingly live every day with good thoughts, words, and actions, your life will surely improve.
It will be “good cause and effect.” If you do good things, you'll be able to find comfort.

If people around you speak ill of people and criticize them, or if they steal or shoplift people, those people will always be rewarded.
It's “bad cause and suffering.”
So please try not to imitate such foolish people.

People are people, and I am myself.

I sincerely pray that you can move forward with good thoughts, words, and actions for the future and live every day with peace of mind, peace and health, and that you can get away from suffering, gain comfort, and live a rich and happy life from the bottom of your heart.
And I wholeheartedly support you.

Sly people lose their trust, and there comes a time when they are ashamed of their way of life. Because you don't get anything

Well, the world is full of unreasonable things, isn't it? Even if they try this hard, even if nothing is wrong, they will suffer one-sided damage. It's unforgivable, and it's frustrating, and why am I the only one with this kind of anger and sadness welling up.
Even though there are sloppy people who have made it through and are alive. That's infuriating again, isn't it?

Something happened close to you, right?
being blamed or bad-mouthed...
Everyone is selfish, right?

No matter how far we go, humans also harbor foolish minds. Every time something like this happens, I feel sorry, and I want to ask myself if I'm not living such a selfish way of life. I've always felt that way, too.

It can also be noticed by the behavior of others. I also look back on my own behavior due to the frustration I received.
In this way, people can also grow. I want to be like that, so please turn it into power.

There comes a time when sly people lose their trust and are ashamed of their way of life. That's because you're not getting anything.

Let's whistle out our complaints and let go of the bad feelings. Also, please be proud of your way of life.
