Reactions

What could you let go of, for the sake of harmony?

Disharmony is usually caused due to miscommunication or situations that we do not have control over.

At an individual level, one thing that we could compromise on is the way we react to events and situations. We tend to react too soon, too violently or abusively unknowingly hurting the other person. 

Small events like spilled water on the floor, ruckus created by kids, work done not upto your expectations etc trigger us and we usually go on with  verbal abuses without reflecting on the repercussions it has on the other person. Gradually it shapes into the kind of person we become and type of relationships we have with the people around us.

When faced with such situations we need to control our reaction and respond in a thoughtful manner. We need to understand the disposition of the other individual and respond accordingly.  We can either yell at a person or explain the same using a less abusive manner and stance.

This doesn’t occur overnight. It first needs us to introspect into our behaviour, reactions and responses. It needs continous, persistent efforts from our end. And we need to take this step to ensure harmony with others as well as peace within ourselves.
