indeed...

this understanding is extremely important to our emotional, mental, and spiritual awareness.

the fact that we are able to gain knowledge from every encounter we make is a process to be learned by many and a gift surely savored by few...

but one must remember first to be objective before becoming subjective... recognizing the need to properly regulate the influences of emotion, prejudice, and insecurity in order to create, to uphold a sound sense of perception and reason within the self.

"take a step back"...and "think before you speak" or act for that matter...

we could all benefit from a little humility in times of adversity as well as praise...unpretentious, unassuming...altogether more conscious of the beauty of life and its processes.

good post.

may the peace you share be returned...
