 .......................“Happiness is something I choose in advance. Whether or not I like, does not depend on the content, or the conditions – rather it depends on how I decide to accept it” .
I only like to see the way I chose, hear the way I chose, smell the way I chose, taste the way I chose, etc … and not the way it is presented or intended to. It needs to bring me benifit , bring me a gainful outcome, profit, or something more, if I’m to tollerate and bare it up. So when I don’t get what I want, I seem to blame the other. When what I like is seperated from me or deprived, I seem blame the other. And when my expectation of another is not performed by another, I blame the other. When others have expectations on me and I do my best, they seem not content with my performance. At times I seem to be taken gor granted. So I do “what ever” ..... to gain their sypothatic attention to fulfill my appriciation & efforts. Mostly this ends up with me breaking up this beautiful body, obstructing this functionality of this body or disfiguering the body in some way. It also becomes an excuse as to how I perform in the future.......
So may each and every one of you have the strength, courage, confidence & the wise attention to see your life through the window of this simple Dhamma ......

Pāpopi passati badran
Yawa pāpan n pachchati
Yada ta pachchti pāpan
Atha pāpo pāpāni passati
As long as evil ripens not,
even the evil one goodness knows,
but when the evil ripens
then the person evil knows.
Explanation: The evil doer even sees evil as good. When evil begins to mature, the evil doer will understand evil to be evil.
When one is doing bad or the wrong there is a fair, just, right reasoning to continue. When the bad has ripened or matured the consequences and the repercussions are all over whelming and each finds it difficult to face the outcome. this is just the aggressive and arrogant nature in most of us in a very competitive, comparative & inconsiderate existence.

 Consider this statement....... read this a couple of times .... 'Self' (I, me, my) is always "Selfish". 'Self' needs to be "Selfless" . For a self to be selfless. it need to let go the selfishness. Most of the time we are unwilling or we are unable to accept another's betterment, another's benefits, another's gain, another’s praise, another’s rewards. We always try to have something that we have done for another’s betterment. It is because of me that they prospered. It is me who gave or showed them the way. It is me who said so. It was mine before. Etcetera. We are unable to another take the limelight or centre stage. We always try to say I told you so, If they only listened to what I said, etcetera.. This is the selfishness within me that make me take part of all of the praise, fame, reward, benefit, gain of another’s well-being. So learn to overcome this by accepting another for all of what they are. Have nothing to do with another’s betterment or their demise. Just have everything to do with your improvement. That is to be selfless.
Learn to accept another unconditionally, to accept their opinion unconditionally, to accept their judgement unconditionally,
Enjoy being. May you have the strength, courage, confidence and effort to lead a eventful wholesome life. May you be happy, healthy, peaceful and content.
Theruwan Saranai,
With much respect and humbleness
