THE TEMPEST 2016

“for some individuals, the concept of free speech means that they are allowed to say anything they want, but it is an outrage if anybody else says anything in response to what they have said.” Churchill’s name, Winston In today’s wired-up and turbulent environment, it might be challenging to attain a state of equilibrium. The election that took place in 2016 was successful in bringing out the worst in us, stoking the flames of bitter division and vindictiveness. It does not matter whether the conflict is verbal, mental, on social media, or face to face; it is still considered war. a conflict that cannot be won by either side. it has been claimed that you are already incorrect if you have to be right. Many individuals are being carried along by a current that is really harmful, but they are unaware of it. At the same time, they are enamored with the sound of their own voices, and they are certain that their interpretation of the truth is exceptional, even amazing! There is no lens that should be that sure. If you never consider the viewpoints of others, it will be impossible for you to achieve balance (much alone be outstanding!). When the scales are in the right place, you’ll have a deeper comprehension of things. When we are off-kilter, it is simple for us to fall into the trap of being so opinionated that we pass over into imperialistic behavior. Then nobody is heard, and too many people are pushed to the margins. Joining the “bandwagon mentality” against men who disrespect or mistreat women while ignoring what women also do to entrap and hurt men, shutting out the views of republicans because you are a democrat, and holding an assumptional belief that one race, gender, country, or way of life is superior are all examples of subtle forms of entitlement. Indulging in an intrusive and widespread endeavor to polarize and divide mankind is what we are doing when we shut our heads and judge what is different from “us” and “ours.” This is not a magical conjuring, but it is a highly negative manipulation nevertheless. According to Webster’s dictionary, the meaning of the word “tempest” is “to be thrown about or agitated fiercely.” put into a state of disarray. being battered or constantly struck by storms of misfortune is a defining characteristic of being disturbed, in difficulty, or in peril. Does this ring a bell? Everyone is essential to this. We need to stay connected by keeping the energy of our brains and hearts open to one another. enabling “the other” to express themselves while watching, respecting, and creating space for them to do so in a spirit of good will. We are not required to take part in or agree with this expression; all that is required is that we give it some room for a while. There are several pitfalls associated with holding assumptions. Examine and question oneself in an open and honest manner on a regular basis. You will be astounded by what you discover tucked away in the corners and crannies of your mind. When a piece of my article was shared online, a reader said that although they agreed with my ideas (regarding self-reflection, etc.), what women do to ensnare men is nothing in comparison to the rape mindset that males have. I get the impression that this individual was venting her anguish and rage since lately someone she cared about was sexually attacked and raped. absolutely no difficulty whatsoever. It’s possible that people automatically concluded the author of this blog couldn’t comprehend the rape mindset. It is simple for me to advocate for open-mindedness, justice, and other admirable qualities, right? She had no way of knowing that the author in question had been raped and assaulted. I am not referring to violent actions here; rather, I am speaking about the way in which society as a whole disregards other people. Therefore, there is also that side. During a storm, it is important to avoid making assumptions, since they might lead to misunderstandings and misunderstanding. Our fellow employees or neighbors are not our adversaries. the effect that internal turmoil and disagreement have. When engaging in combat with an adversary, one piece of folklore advises that you should avoid doing it on the adversary’s home turf. Alter the setting of the conflict so that it does not take place in the territory most familiar to the adversary. On your chosen turf, which would be the spiritual worlds, the opponent has no power, no stamina, and no balance. This is because you have chosen to fight them there. The adversary loses any ability to fight back. At this juncture, we need everyone’s help. We need to stay connected by keeping our thoughts and hearts open, maintaining self-discipline, and being clear about our plan. During a chaotic and violent tempest, we may not be aware that we are getting an invitation and a calm message to thoroughly examine our inner selves and our own flaws, while simultaneously choosing to stay aloof from the emotional dramas and one-sided conversation. Learn to live with the unpredictability that is all around you. Let the nature of things linger in ambiguity for the time being. You do not have complete knowledge. A turbulent ocean with an endless depth continually ebbs and flows. Figure out how to ride the wave.
