Thank you for your consultation.
I'm reading this consultation,
“When I took good care of myself, I became arrogant”
I thought that awareness itself was a very important discovery.
Often in the world,
“Let's take care of ourselves”
They say, “Let's acknowledge ourselves.”
But when I heard those words,
“Prioritize yourself”
“Justify yourself”
“Do what you want”
If you take it, it can sometimes lead to arrogance.
So what does “taking care of yourself” really mean?
While thinking about various things, I thought it might be “understanding myself.”
For example, when parents take care of their children, they don't let them do whatever they want.
There are times when I praise you,
There are also things to be careful about.
That's because I want that child to grow up.
Isn't it the same for myself?
It's also important to acknowledge that “you did your best.”
but at the same time,
“Why did you get angry?”
“Why did you want to look down on people?”
“Why did they become arrogant?”
It's also important to observe yourself.
In Buddhism, there is a way of thinking called the “middle way (middle path).”
It's also extreme to keep blaming yourself.
It's also extreme to keep pampering yourself.
The teaching is that it is important to walk in the middle of it.
People who really value themselves
I also acknowledge my strengths,
They don't turn a blind eye to their shortcomings.
I'll talk about my true intentions,
Looking at what kind of things happened due to my actions
if you've bothered someone, think about it
When you praise someone for their hard work, praise them.
However, if that causes trouble, I'll change it.
Including both of those, it is also said that they will continue to be in a relationship with themselves.
One last time
“Taking care of yourself” means
It's not about making yourself king,
Why don't you aim to “be a person who understands yourself well”?
