A glass of water - nov. 2015

"


"When we are upset, it’s easy to blame others. However,

 the true cause of our feelings is within us. For example, 

imagine yourself as a glass of water. Now, imagine past 

negative experiences as sediment at the bottom of your 

glass. Next, think of others as spoons. When one stirs, the 

sediment clouds your water. It may appear that the spoon 

caused the water to cloud – but if there were no sediment,

 the water would remain clear no matter what. The key, 

then, is to identify our sediment and actively work to 

remove it."

[Josei Toda - SGI 2nd President]
