We humans do have a big brain but somehow we only use only a small part of it. In this way we end up thinking, acting, feeling, behaving according to some labels, pre-established in our minds, from our personal history, social background, culture we live in.
If we find people with the same labels then it is easy for us to communicate. No more thinking and analyzing; we have the label and the meaning is the same. We feel relaxed and happy that we found someone "compatible" with our labels.
What happens when we don't meet in our social interaction the labels we know, use and cherish?
I tell you what happens. Frustration.
The effects of frustration: anger, guilt, stress.
It could be so much easier for everyone if each one of us try, just for a minute, to think out of the labels we've got so used to.
Just for a minute, try to think that the world is bigger than just your great Ego and that maybe, only maybe, world, life and humans are much more than one single human being.
We are so different and yet so alike. We are different in the labels we use but the same in the way we use it and in claiming everyone in our reality to use the same labels as we and act accordingly to it.
It is hard to go beyond the labels you use for work, love, family, communication, life, death, everything. I know! It is hard to let go your egoistic claims on life, on everyone around you.
After all, the world wasn't created after yourself,the world is, with or without you. You are not the center of the entire universe, you are just a small, pretty small part of it. And that's it!
