The greatest fear in the world is the opinion of others, and the moment you are unafraid of the crowd, you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.

– Osho

Wenn du dich über andere ärgerst, gibst du ihnen Macht über dein Leben: deinen Schlaf, deinen Appetit, deine Gesundheit, deine Zufriedenheit.

„Monks and scholars,
just as you test gold by burning, cutting, and polishing it,
so too well examine my speech.
Do not accept it merely out of respect.“

– Buddha

Look at the real nature of the harm that is done to you. It is as elusive as a drawing on water. Let your resentment subside by itself. When the stormy waves of thoughts have vanished, the mind becomes like the cloudless sky that has nothing to win or lose.

Wenn du akzeptierst, dass Einsamkeit
kein versäumtes Leben ist, sondern ein Moment
der Stille und des Innehaltens,
werden sich dir neue Wege erschliessen.
