“The vanity of others runs counter to our taste only when it runs counter to our vanity.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)
Still on our Nietzsche streak. This quote is dynamite. Its dynamite because it triggers something within us, that everybody has: our pride, our arrogance, our vanity. We live in a world where erverything and everybody has the potential to mirror our weaknesses. The things that agitate us mostly do so, because we find what we don´t like in our inside reflected from the outside/the world. If we don´t understand this and get angry and upset by erything that pushes that button, we will never grow. Only if we SEE and accept that truth, than nothing can upset us, because we see every trigger on the outside as a chance to weaken our weaknesses ;)
Today I stop blaming and pointing with my finger (because if I point with my finger, 4 fingers point back at myself ...) and start reflecting WHY something/somebody agitates me.
What about you?
