| There are certain people you can always enjoy having a drink with.
Then again, there are others with whom you never can do so. Why? By the
same token, there are people you cannot enjoy sharing a meal or a coffee with and others with whom you surely can. It is strange but true that there are some people who, when you come near to them, give you a cold or unpleasant sensation and that there are also other people who, when you do the same, give you a warm or pleasant feeling. Each of us has our own particular atmosphere, but it's difficult to discern it for ourselves. There are surely some people with whom we, by just looking at their faces, feel joy, and, by staying close to them, will gradually feel the glow of happiness. If there is any way to become such a person through some effort, surely we would all wish to become such people. In fact there is, and it is quite easy to develop. It is called a "telepathic communication," or knowing or understanding each other without words. If we feel joy on seeing another person, that person will also feel joy on seeing us. It is human nature that if we feel happiness first, then those who we are communicating with will also feel happiness. By the same token, if we have respect for others, they will also come to have respect for us. Those whom we ignore will ignore us. Those whom we hate will hate us. Those toward whom we have good feelings will have the same feelings for us. If we think of others as important and feel gratitude to them, then they will do the same about us too. Isn't it that the atmosphere around us now is constructed by ourselves little by little, day by day, unconsciously? |
