Lessons
We feel happy
When our work and aspirations
Can be shared with someone
When we cannot find anyone to share
Where is happiness?
When jealousy enters
Where is happiness?
We can't stop others
From passing unwholesome judgements upon us
We can change
Our attitude towards criticism
See them as lessons for US
Through the judgements passed
We learn about our mistakes
We learn about ourselves and the 'me' inside
We learn about the spiritual self through pain of the 'I'
There is a deeper meaning for pain that we endure
We learn to be grateful
For the experiences
As those conditions toughen the mind
Pave the way
For the emergence of a more evolved being
