My wife is truly a global citizen, she is born and bought up in Dubai. Her parents thought her humanity, she is a spiritual person by practice and her reading I guess. she dont differentiate people with caste, religion and color. I respect in that matter. We had a conversation last day. It is usual but this one I thought I should write down.
My lady said, Here in Mumbai, generally people ask our second name to understand our identity.
Mainly they want to know our caste. I dont like that.
I said, Thats ok. Some people are like that.
My lady, Educated and people who travel around the world as well, asks this. Its irritates me.
I asked, why do you get annoyed. you are an open minded person.
My lady, yes, thats what. people are not open minded. they cant accept a person as person. they want to know their identity. for what?
I said, Its ok. Let them know.
My lady, thats not correct. why should they eager to know my identity to have conversation with me? cant they just accept me as a normal person.
I asked, ok, Are you an open minded?
My lady said, of course I am.
My point is, But if you are open minded, why cant you accept them the way they are? why do you hyper with this question from others.
For this, she thinks that it about mindfulness not open mind.
ok. I am fine to accept the work you define for this stage. the question are we fine to accept others and ourselves in any circumstances. If no, practice to become a peaceful, kind, contributor and harmless for others in this universe.
