Like it or not, we must accept that the consequence of self interests is why we meet others with more self interests than us.
We too must accept that running away from who we are can never be the case either.
We have to be at peace with self and with the self interests we have.
In so doing, we can gradually tone down the self interests and have more peace in us. Then we can accept the self interests of others and not blow up the self interests in them.
Isn't that true and the way to have less problem with others?
We need to learn to reassure others not to feel threatened by us. We can only do so by showing interest in others and not impose our interests and views on them.
We have to be humble when others want to be exalted.
Then we must show love for them in way we love ourselves.
This is not to love them for their ego but to love them even if they are egoistic.
Then we can learn from them the woes they inflict on themselves because of ego and feel sorry for them.
We must love others the way we would like to love ourselves. There should be no denial of self, neither do we deny the self of others.
We accept others for what they are and ourselves too for what we are. No need for guilt and fear of others or of ourselves.
No need to fear God and no need for not being able to accept that God will accept us for what we are. But God will appreciate us even more if we can be better than that.
Listen if we want to be listened . Appreciate their presence at work or outside work. Then they will accept us.
Hear others first if we even want to be heard. Humble ourselves first if we hope others can be humble and pleasant with us. Let all be humble and peaceful to bring out more of the same in others.
