Inspired by the previous post ...

The world will become peaceful, beautiful and abundant
IF EVERYONE RECOGNISES THAT WHAT THEY SEE IS A MIRROR OF THEMSELVES.

The process of projection is generally in play. This means that what we have already experienced - the joys and the pains - influences the way we perceive other people. Even if we have only just met someone, we might take an instant dislike to them, while others may find them totally amiable. This does not purely have to do with the person in question, thought there are undoubtedly more pleasant and less pleasant traits which people can agree upon. If an elderly man treats you harshly, as perhaps your father once did, you may take an instant disliking to this person, irrespective of what he actually says, whether it is relevant or not.

Similarly, if we dislike a person for being "uncommunicative", this is also an invitation to take a long hard look at whether we ourselves are uncommunicative. There will be something to discover and learn if we always consider that we see WHAT WE ARE FAMILIAR WITH, as opposed to what might really be in front of our eyes.

If this is realized, so many strained encounters will fall away, and much can be seen in a new and peaceful light.
