Understanding True Nature and Building Relationships : หน้า 41/135

35. SEEING THROUGH PEOPLE There is a parable about a fox that was raised as a lion. It is the fox's nature to eat excrement. But one fox was taken and raised like a lion. He was fed the finest meat and behaved as really as a lion would. But when he came across excrement, his true nature came to fore, and he ate it. A fox is still a fox. We need to look into the true nature of a person to know who he really is. June 1, 1981 36. BE A TEAM PLAYER I care for my community. We should learn how to be a good team player and get along with everyone. Arrogance only leads to isolation. If we have the attitude that we are better than others, at our time of distress, no one will be around to offer help. October 28, 1992 37. HUMAN RELATIONS We should learn how to get along with others. If someone does not talk to us, then we need to be the one to begin talking first. Soon we will have a pleasant conversation. We should reject the attitude of snobbery and arrogance. Instead, strive to relate well with every type of person. You never know, a day might come when you will need their help. May 5, 1995 38. HATE NO ONE I have hatred for no one. I am afraid if I do, I too, will be hated in my next life. My mind always considers the consequences in the far future rather than merely the immediate present. Besides, I would rather have love than hatred for people. January 1, 1991
