Interesting Buddhist Life lesson

The tale of two monks and a woman is a well-known Buddhist parable. The story goes that two monks were traveling together, a senior and a junior. They came to a river with a strong current where a young woman was waiting, unable to cross alone. She asks the monks if they would help her across the river. Without a word and in spite of the sacred vow he’d taken not to touch women, the older monk picks her up, crosses, and sets her down on the other side.

The younger monk joins them across the river and is aghast that the older monk has broken his vow but doesn’t say anything. An hour passes as they travel on. Then two hours. Then three. Finally, the now quite agitated younger monk can stand it no longer: “Why did you carry that women when we took a vow as monks not to touch women?”

The older monk replies, “I set her down hours ago by the side of the river. Why are you still carrying her?”

Here are some tips

Don't dwell on your past
Don't be so much emotionally invested in anything
Stop seeing the world in terms of what you like and what you don't like
Stay in the present moment
Believe your instincts

Edit 1: I would like to add two concept from jaina philosophy.

Anekantvada : It is the theory of plurality or multisidedness. It states that the reality has multiple aspects, and advocates simultaneous acceptance of diverse, multiple and even contradictory viewpoints.
Syadvada : It is the theory of May be. It states that all judgements are relative, conditional and limited. According to it, seven modes of prediction are possible. Also, both absolute negation and absolute affirmation are wrong.

REBUILD YOURSELF FROM TOXIC SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media, Keanu Reeves has no social media for anything, you can’t find him on the internet anywhere. I think that’s one of the things that has helped him grow into such a humble person. Everyone brags about how happy they are and how kind they are on social media, but Keanu doesn’t do that. He doesn’t brag about anything, and with no social media, that has definitely helped him resist any temptation to. He also does so many kind things and doesn’t tell anyone, which is one key to being humble. That’s one thing that makes him the great person he is today. Lastly, I don’t mean to not text your friends or use a phone, just don’t indulge yourself in the endless scrolling of other people’s lives, don’t focus on all the bad things in this world, and start focusing on how to make yourself a better person.

The views on Syria War

In the Syrian civil war, which began in 2011, the United states first supplied the rebels of the free syrian army with non-lethal aid (including food rations and pickup trucks), but quickly began providing training, cash, and intelligence to selected Syrian rebel commanders. But with the evolution of ISIL, US gradually increases it’s involvement in the Syrian affairs, and with increasing activities of the group, it starts supporting the rebels more directly. CIA was put in charge of the operations, worth about $1 billion annually, to arm anti-government forces in Syria. The Russian military intervention in the Syrian civil war began on 30 September 2015, following a formal request by the Syrian government for military help against rebel and jihadist groups. The activities consisted of air strikes primarily in north-western Syria against militant groups opposed to the syrian govt., including al-nushra front , ISIL and the Army of contest. The Russian airforce had significan...

Will Russia Win The war in Ukraine?

Yes and no. The Russian military is a paper tiger. It’s strong enough to effectively defend itself and pose a threat and it’s strong enough for limited intervention but the Russian armed forces lack the strength everyone assumes they have, The Russian military has serious flaws, all of which have been exposed in this conflict. 1: Logistical failures Russia has an impressive rail system. Given the vast distances of Russia, a complex and advanced railroad network is required to make things work. The Russian military has taken full advantage of this rail network to supply its armed forces. Honestly, they are very good at keeping forces supplied so long as they have their rail network to use. But there are no railroads Russia can use in Ukraine. The VERY FIRST thing Ukrainian units did was destroy all Russian rail networks coming into Ukraine. It has to supply its men using trucks now which is much more difficult. So supplies get brought to supply dumps on the border mostly via train...
