Everything in life is based on education, especially the kind that comes from “home”. Many people get lost in arrogance and arrogance that lead to absolutely nothing. In the world and at the present time, it is not advisable to arrange or accept confusion. When we learn that ignoring a situation is part of the defense strategy, as well as education.

Letting go of the EGO is not easy, it has to be a daily and continuous exercise in all segments of life. If a certain person has not been educated, let us be the ones who show how it is done. As a karate practitioner, hierarchy is a primary lesson, respecting your elders, having discipline does not mean that we should stop being a fighting warrior (the spirit of aggression is part of martial art). See how everything is inserted into the principles of education.

There is a saying that when one does not want, two do not do (fight), within this context, there is no confusion and conflict. Consider yourself on the path to elevation whoever thinks or acts in this way, because peace saves! In my opinion, AI has no influence whatsoever on my personal actions, although it is a powerful tool for exploring paths that the human mind has never thought of or imagined.

Finally, I repeat, without basic and fundamental education it is difficult to maintain the line of rationality. 

Thank you for the nice invitation and the tea ☕! Hug 🤗

Agree, modeling for others is part of the practice. A good reminder that discipline, respect, and peace start within ourselves and extend out to the world 🙏🏼🍵

In fact, it is a stage of discipline that is difficult to reach and when it is reached, not everyone acts with similar conduct. It would be ideal, however, it is not a standard that everyone follows. Thank you 🙏🏾

You are well on the path. I offer this poem that resonates with your post.

Listen Learn Love

Capturing attention, scattered by the reality of life

Seeking balance, well on the path

Glowing from the glimpse of love

Listen, learn, love

Souls unite, glowing brighter, our triggers get lighter

Love insulates for obstacles that persist

My love, a glimpse of love, insists

The beautiful unfolding of the soul voice with its profound understanding, when the ego is quite is a powerful sign of awakening. ❤️❤️

😊. So true, and what I try to practice, with great effort, every day. It’s radical acceptance, but expressed so much more lyrically. Beautiful post.

I relate wholeheartedly to the part about longing for a sense of shared humanity. I love connecting everywhere I go, but many people don’t reciprocate for many reasons. It reminds me of the Beatles singing, “Ah, look at all the lonely people.”

I hear you. Sometimes experiencing that kind of connection out in the wild feels like finding an oasis in a desert. Might also be partially regional? 🤪

I think so. For example, people in my current town are friendlier and more likely to engage than the last town I lived in.

Your current town is a bit more “Penny Lane”?

Yeah, I suppose so. Imperfect but friendlier.

Generally, I find that the prettier and more desirable the neighborhood, the less friendly the people are.

This is a beautiful share. There is no substitute for human exchange. I came to the same conclusion about ChatGPT. Then I went deeper into dialogue with it about this disadvantage it has. It revealed that one can use prompts to have ChatGPT bring them greater awareness. It even showed me how to set up a named model that knows the kind of dialogue I'm seeking when I present my challenges. Now, I just start the conversation with that name and it provides me more so that I can dig into the shadows and raise my own conscious awareness.
