Ask yourself, are you an instrument of peace or discord? Do you act as a bridge so that other people can live harmoniously? Or do you enjoy sowing enmity and distrust? If you have something negative to say about another person, say it to his face directly; otherwise, shut your mouth. It's tough to accomplish this simple act. We sometimes falter because of human frailty. Nevertheless, it's a daily challenge that we have to conquer if we want to live in a better world. No one is perfect. Keep trying because winners never quit! You haven't failed yet, as long as you keep on trying.

Just two simple questions and you have so much to ponder to and introspect. It's easy to fall for human weaknesses. I try my best for a conscious living. It's not easy and one doesn't become an expert overnight. It's a constant learning.

@Jenaisle It takes a lot of effort to start with, but with time and consistency, it becomes the innate nature. So, just keep trying

These are powerful and honest words, serving as a crucial reminder. It’s easy to get drawn into gossip, grudges, or subtle negativity. However, choosing peace and striving to be a bridge rather than a wedge requires genuine courage and discipline. We all falter at times—saying things we shouldn’t or staying silent when we should speak up. This is part of being human. What truly matters is how we respond afterward. Continuously reflect on your actions and aim to improve each day. Indeed, nobody is perfect, but the effort makes a difference. Every attempt, every moment of restraint before speaking, every choice to show kindness contributes to building a better world, one small step at a time.

well i just want to focus on myself and not of others. focusing on myself gives me peace of mind. minding others businesses is not good. sometimes, you worry so much about others and ended up being tied to their problems, worst case they may hate you for giving advise or helping them.

I see, it's okay. We all have our beliefs based on our conscience.
