The Importance of Self-Satisfaction

Hello. We all hear the saying, “Pleasing people is

unattainable.” As soon as I say this saying, I remember the story of

Juha, the donkey, and his son.

I wonder, depending on whether

Juha was able to enter this

village the way he wanted, the way that made him comfortable,

without anyone commenting on him.

He couldn't enter the village walking beside the donkey and his son, nor

could he when he put his son on the donkey and walked,

nor when he rode the donkey while his son walked beside him on

foot.

Therefore, it is impossible to please people and satisfy

people's moods and beliefs. Why should I

be expected to please them? Why should a person please another?

Aren't you better off pleasing yourself and being satisfied with yourself?

People will keep talking regardless, whether you do what they want

or not, they'll keep talking. And if they don't talk about you today, they'll talk about

someone else. And if they're not occupied with a story about you, they'll be occupied with a story

about

others.

So if every person—and we return to repeat this saying—if every

A person who cares about himself, his soul, and what it wants

and needs, and focuses only on himself

will absolutely not be the reality.

So, inherited stories

did not arise out of nowhere. But people also have reason, and there should be

an awareness that a person should have, that truly, you cannot

please them. So

only with your feelings.
