724 (NEIGHBOUR/QUARREL/ SILENCE)
If you do not know how to respond to a challenge, to a bad behaviour, to a bad word from a neighbour, the best thing is to keep
silent and
NOT to take him
seriously…
Your
gain, from
this attitude, will be inversely proportional to the
damage that will occur by doing
otherwise.
(GOOD/ BAD/ INDECISIVENESS/ DECISIVENESS)
Usually, we
passionate people
do evil without thinking, while we
hesitate to do
good, thinking about it
over and
over again, without doing
anything!
You, my brother, do the
opposite:
If you are thinking of
doing evil, think about it
again and
again… and
postpone it, and this
postponement will
bring about the
desired cancellation.
On the
contrary, whenever you
can, do good – without thinking about it
so much, and
tormenting your mind
too much – and the
joy will all be
yours!
