we have values and we have actions……for the actions to be successful
we must have the right values
so let us give another example…
a man enters a relationship with a women…
he has the values of hate, of anger, of greed and of lust…
I predict that relationship won’t work or succeed…
a man is alone again… for a man to succeed in his goal of
finding a mate, a wife…he must find a women with whom he
share the same values with…….if a man enters a relationship with love
and compassion and charity… he will far more likely have a successful
relationship……. not a guarantee but a better chance of success……
so, if a man enters a situation, he must first decide upon the his values…
and if the situation fails, it might have been the values the man brought into
the situation…….the situation required one set of values and the man brought
another set of values, the wrong values to that situation…
and situation failed… the results weren’t good… and then the man
can learn from that situation……… that is how we learn…….
but the key factor in learning is understanding the values we brought into
any learning situation and every situation is a learning situation………
sometime aggressive actions are required in some situations…
but don’t bring aggressiveness into every situation… learn
to understand every situation……… not every situation requires the
exact same values………. and yet people quite often take the same values
into every situation and when the situation fails, they never take a look
at the values they brought into the situation… they will blame something else…
every situation that fails must be understood in terms of the values that
situation required and what was brought into the situation value wise…….
we need to learn what situation requires what values and what values
will work in different situations…………. the one, values, requires the other,
action and they must engage together… you need values to match the
situation and the situation must match the values… otherwise you tempt
failure………… and only after the situation resolves itself, the end results,
then you can begin to understand the role of values and the action taken…
you understand the results as a question of values… where the right values in
place in that situation? and if the right values weren’t in place and you had
failure, then what values were the right values for that particular situation……
our understanding of reality now becomes a question of the values used
in what situation and what situation required what values………
that is the new reality…… a question of values and their uses………
