My meditation today is to treat others and myself with kindness, love, respect and compassion. It sounds simple, but sometimes there are very few things that can cause unreasonable reactions. Recently, I was put on hold by an online chat team assistant for a long time. This is the second day I tried to get help from my staff, because the day before I was disrupted after more than an hour of waiting time. My computer didn't let me log in to this program, even though I was sure I was using the correct password.
When I went online and said that they couldn't help me, I was usually a tolerant self. From 0 to 50, I had to wait 24 hours because I tried to log in too many times. I texted that I prefer the older version of the active program, not this bad new upgrade, and they didn't help me. Yes, I use uppercase letters to indicate that it is not - as if I call it, they will listen more and magically fix everything. Frustrated, they can't help me, I finally hang up, and then feel heavy in my body.
This heavy feeling is a message from my self that has prompted me to change the way I perceive life. I know deep inside that I can solve problems in different ways. Patience is often a challenge for me. Although I have grown a lot, I can still go back to the old control mode. I also know that for online technology, there is an element of stranger, as if this made me unwilling to disclose my name and allow not to be friendly or judged. In hindsight, I realized that technology was just doing my job as much as I could, and I was too critical of them. Perhaps, my discomfort with computer problems has been activated, and I feel uncomfortable when I feel that I am not enough. Also, the login issue still exists and I have to deal with this frustration. Most importantly, however, none of these circumstances proves that it is ruthless to treat another person. I am self-centered, indifferent rather than eager for kindness, love, respect and compassion.
When I didn't get what I wanted, I easily forgot my commitment to compassion for all beings. At the moment when I forgive myself and technology for human beings, I found some relief. Then I adjusted a bigger fact that we are all in this mutual respect and our own journey. Then I prayed to accept and then put down the output. When I have no attachment to income, it is much easier to accept the conditions that life brings to me.
The next day, I was more calm, open-minded, forgiving technology and myself, and I was willing to create a new password. Surprise! The plan worked well. I just have to give up how the situation is solved. I smoke happily inside, don't have to deal with the online world for the time being, and be flexible enough to start over with the new password and the new version of the software installed on my computer. I am sending peace prayers to technology around the world.
I want to get close to the words of Martin Luther King. "We must develop and maintain the power of forgiveness." Those who have no forgiveness lack the power of love..."
