Mind is fickle, always changing, always distracted.
Mind is like the flicker of a candle, it is never the same yet we treat it as such.
Yet, we realize not that our minds are constantly changing.
We bulldoze through our daily life without regards to what we think.
We realize not that negative thoughts always pop up in our heads.
We realize not that our intent is evil.
We realize not that we wish to please others for the wrong purpose.
Ego, hatred, anger, jealousy, bitterness, sadness.
All these stem from the fact that we do not pay attention to them.
We allow them to multiply.
We feel it, but we do not investigate the source of the feeling.
The source is not in the external.
It is in the internal.
Anger does not stem from the object you are annoyed at.
Anger stems from your mind.
We realize not that this is so.
Perhaps it is time to reflect.
Time to investigate.
Time to experience for yourself.
Be mindful.
