AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

Why are we humans so eager for others to realize their mistakes within a short time? Why are we so focused on others instead of understanding that it’s human nature to take time and that we should learn to be patient🤨?

In complete agreement with your observation. As to the reason, it is partly due to the relatively short life span that we lead compared to what we wish to achieve. But more importantly seeing others mistakes and advising them is one of the ways of avoiding to see our own. Anyone who has worked upon oneself knows how difficult it is to get rid of one’s own defects or even to see it honestly. 

Affectionately,

Alok Da
