In my context, I usually feel terrible when I say something that I should or stand up for myself and it sounds harsh.. Sometimes I wonder is it even worth standing up if I don’t feel better after. Is my ignorance speaking when I should remain quiet or taking my ego self seriously.
Ignorance is absence of true knowledge about Self and World and God. Its web is created by the senses and the mind that see only a little surface part. It is cemented by the ego that takes this as the whole. It is due to this that misunderstandings, frictions, quarrels, confusion and sufferings arise. Since most human beings are subject to this ignorance it is no point giving importance to their opinion or try to explain yours. Leave each one to their view and for yourself follow the truth that you feel in the heart whether people understand or do not understand.
Affectionately,
