There were couple of very important things that came out of discussions with some children and their parents. One of the kids mentioned that in their house, everybody talks to the kid angrily. He or she said that he can’t do what he wants to do. This person also wrote that he is not good in academics. He said that he thinks that because he lacks in few things that is why no one likes him. He believes that if he was better looking maybe he would have been better. The biggest delusion a person has is to think that if they were good looking then everybody would like them. There is no dearth of good-looking people in the world. But the beauty you see outside is just the first step.
It does not matter how you look. You are beautiful by your karma. You love people not because of how they look but because their nature and behaviour is such that you fall in love with them. The thoughts when you think that you are tall or short or slim or fat or not beautiful are all excuses when you don’t have the good virtues. When your behaviour is good, everyone will like you.
