Are you among those who run their lifestyle in such a rigid way that, they look for only the perfect situation to live in, i.e., perfection is a mandatory entry criteria for them? In fact, the majority of people in this world are in this category. They pursue or chase for 100% perfect situations by constantly preventing and avoiding the friction mentally. They expect the world and life to run as per their own plan.
By chance, if they get into an imperfect situation in spite of all prevention, they consider life as a failure from the beginning of a situation. They become fragile, which increases the impact of friction in life instead of reducing it. For these people inner friction is acceptable but outer failure and scars are not acceptable. This is because they feel pity to show their scar to the external world. ?In simple, they have no Sageness. Hence when challenges and controversies strike, they start defending, complaining, blaming, criticizing, condemning, and hating, to prevent external scar. However, unknowingly they create internal scars of restlessness, regret, remorse and lose inner happiness and peace. This kind of life loses the sense of easiness, hummer, creative energy, and playful expression. In summary, without Sageness they get deprived of Smartness as well.
On the other hand, a minor percentage of people run their lifestyle so flexibly that, they are ok with any situation at the present time even if it is not perfect. Their energy is not overspent to prevent and avoid the friction in mind constantly. For them, they exist to bring perfection into any life situation by utilizing the saved energy to solve the friction externally through creativity, humor, and pleasant emotion. In other words, bringing perfection to life-situation is their job and responsibility with quest. Perfection is not an entry criterion but a mission and exit criteria. They do not expect the world and life to run as per their own plan. Rather they are ever ready to face any friction between life-situation and their lifestyle. In simple, they have Sageness. Hence, even if the situations are challenging and full of controversies, they do not become fragile. Rather they embrace the flow of situations with acceptance without defending, complaining, blaming, criticizing, condemning and hating. They do not avoid friction, rather they embrace it to make it frictionless. For these people, outer scar is acceptable but inner friction is not acceptable.
Hence, even if they get an outer scar (blame, criticism or physical injury) they decorate it show it a ?star and show it with pride. The way a brave soldier who got shot in a war would show his scars with utter pride and not the pain of facing them. In simple their Sageness makes them Smart as well.
As per Karma philosophy and quantum science, unless our response to a stimulus is conscious enough, most of our stars and scars in life are predetermined as a simple manifestation of Karmic energy as 3 a D-immersive movie. Also, in most of our life, we have more stars than scars. Hence let’s pay gratitude for stars and decorate scars to show with pride to make our life playful, colorful, enlightening, and live like a Smart Sage. ????

1 年Great article! Your profound insights into embracing imperfections and transforming scars into stars truly resonate. The contrast between the rigid pursuit of perfection and the flexible acceptance of life's challenges, as well as the concept of Sageness leading to Smartness, is incredibly thought-provoking. Muniba Mazari's inspiring journey exemplifies the power of embracing one's scars with pride. Looking forward to exploring the principles further in the book Smart Sage. Rgrds
