Title: Instant Mental Gratification
Humans are easily dissatisfied with things in life, or rather it is seldom that humans are geninuely satisfied..
From a human perspective, instant mental gratification is what we want, need and demand it.. Simple said, instant mental gratification means whatever we want, we want it NOW..not then or later but NOW NOW NOW..
When ZhiXing Shifu suggested this idea to me, my instant reaction was one of defensive.. There, I just proved his theory right..
Later, coming back to think of it.. it is really true.. How many times have I wanted things to go my way and wanted it immediately?
How many times have I refused to wait for the right timing and wanted it to happen instantly?
It is true.. we must learn to be patient.. Recognise the fact that we are constantly seeking instant mental gratification and accept it.. Slowly, this monkey mind will be tamed to realise that things do not always go the way it wants..
This much being said, it is often easier said then done.. If you are in a "between shores" situation, neither here and there, how do you ensure that instant mental gratification is tamed down?
Perhaps waiting is the only thing left for the mind to do.. Patiently waiting for the correct conditions to happen at the right place and right time..
Have a think on it.. Perhaps you too will understand what I am trying to put across..=)
