Self-control

We know all the good theories, but reality bites sometimes.

I think my duty in this world is doing good things within my control, and give the rest under His care. For example, when I do something good to people, I don't expect them to repay it with goodness. My concern is how I carry out good deeds, but their responses are up to them. I have no control over them. That will do the other way around. I can't control what people do to me, but I can control how I respond to them.

My id, ego, and super-ego are the ones I should control

I don't have intentions of blaming people. If I do, I must have been living in never ending anguish. I believe they must have their own reasons for doing things, I will never know until I dive deep into their stories -- which may take time. My biggest responsibilty is introspecting and moving on with my life.

My twinnie said last night, "People will be able to move on after they stop taking pity on themselves."

So much agree. Sometimes being strong is not about avenging, but letting go. 'N also there are times when being mature is not about winning an argument, but giving it in.
