Being good to others and being misunderstood

Standard

This happens usually when we try to be good to someone without any obvious reason or context.

As human beings, we live in a selfish world. So when someone tries to be good to us without any obvious reasons or context, we suspect his motives.

Thus misunderstanding happens. And person who may have extended his hands to help us, withdraws.

The solution is in belief that : There are many good natured people in world who help us on their own without any selfish motives.

If we accept such belief, it possible for to open ourselves to help from many unknown good people.

The Man of Standards

Standard

I remember many occasions when I have acted below standards.

But the fact that I am conscious that I have acted below, shows that somewhere in mind, standards are there. I am comparing my deviation with those standards.

Does this not prove that I am a man of standards?

Probably not. Knowing high standards is good. But not living up to those high standardseven when knowing those standards, is “Failure of a Man of Standards”.

Some psychologists suggest, we should lower the bar of our standards, so that we can feel “Good Enough”.

But the true pleasure lies in climbing a mountain and fixing flag at the top of mountain. True pleasures are in living up to the high standards which may have been set in our mind.
