Every day of life always brings new things to the human being which he/she has to cope with and which brings him/her not only joy, gladness, love and happiness as well as satisfaction, but also sometimes or even often also trouble, worry, pain, sorrow, burdens and problems. Also, everyday life is characterized by pivotal points and decisions that have to be made, as well as often by heavy responsibilities that must be borne, but also by work and tasks that inevitably need to be carried out and fulfilled. However, information must also be gathered/obtained and thought through, as well as pros and cons are to be weighed and then the right decisions to be made.
However, everyday life also brings with it that goals/determinations/Zeal are pursued, plans are forged and desires indulged in that want to be reached and fulfilled. However, everything does not always go in such a way as it is formed in thought or is feasible in reality, because all too often many things cannot be organized and realized such as they are mentally forged. Thus many things take a completely different direction from what is thought up and intended, and which often brings confusion to the human being. The very fact alone, to still know nothing in the morning about the exact course of the upcoming day, brings problems. Many people are beside themselves by this and make the day to a torment. And then when the day is over and the evening comes, after which, exhausted, he/she then goes to sleep, bewildered thoughts and feelings then arise about what has happened throughout the entire day and what has come about. In everyday life, however, there are also a great many tasks and obligations, etc., which are easily and often unnoticedly done and taken care of, simply because they have become a joy or routine. Others, on the other hand, are more or less difficult, because they are new and unfamiliar or are done only joylessly and annoyingly, because they act like a heavy burden that pushes all courage and all energy and power to the ground, like the proverbial millstone around the neck. Not infrequently, fears also play a part in the whole daily routine of life, through which the tasks, determinations/zeal, plans, decisions, desires and work remain unfulfilled, or all sorts of other inner impulsations lead to sliding over possibilities offered, or that it is simply handled in a different kind and wise than would rightly be necessary.
Fact is, that particularly in the present time, not only the determinations/zeal, desires, plans, responsibilities as well as the tasks and so forth, are becoming increasingly complex and confusing, but also the world-happenings. As a result, all values shift as well, no matter what kind they are, and by this shifting they become a caricature of themselves. The well-tried and trusted is thereby called into question and replaced by inadequate innovations, whereby tried and tested regulations and systems break down and everything ends in chaos. Thus upheavals take place, as a result of which adverse effects in the world of work and education ensue, as well as with regard to the family, the upbringing and instruction as well as in the interhuman relationships.
The peace, the freedom and the harmony also undergo questionable changes, as also the love, which in many cases exists in name only, however becomes increasingly stunted in the human being. However, the whole thing also destroys the tried and tested concept of economic prosperity, which crumbles through and through evermore, because its growth is impeded by mismanagement and greed for profit at the hands of megalomaniacal managers and administrative boards, all the way to ruin. Thus, in this respect, there is no longer any lasting success, but only decline, because for a long time the world of the tried and tested, good and successful as well as its securities, no longer only shows cracks, but already calls forth destruction. And this is unfortunately not only the case in the business and financial world, but also in many families and communities, as well as with regard to general and personal interhuman relationships, in which already no more love, no sense of responsibility and no honesty are brought any more. But this raises many questions, a whole jungle of questions, in which it is very difficult, still, to find a way that leads out of the jumble once more. This jumble, which takes place in times of transition and changes, poses quite particular challenges to the human being in general and to the individual in particular. In particular, however, the individual is called upon and required to use intellect and rationality, in order to strive for effective clarity. The individual, however, must also cooperate with the next one, and work out common points of view, find purposive solutions and these must be appropriate in keeping with the clarity of the times. This also means, however, that the tried and tested and trusted must be checked and that which is in place, which proves to be valueful and continues to be durable, must remain. With the checking, however, new and common values must be worked out, which nevertheless do not lever out the tried and tested, but merely complement it in a correct, necessary and progressive framework.
In doing so, the whole thing must be done out of a conscious and well-considered attitude, through which also the responsibility is carried for that which is complemented and actually brings success and progress. Only in this wise is it possible to solve tribulations or arising problems, not however through selfishness, resentment, egoism, jealousy, hatred and anger. Fundamentally, the whole thing is about pure rationality, clear intellect and effective logic and with regard to the fellow human being, real and true love as well as the honest feelings for others which everyone has to work out and grow in themselves. But it is also important to overcome the inner restlessness that weighs so heavily on many human beings and plagues them up to the unbearableness.
Even if the human being is often heavily burdened in his/her everyday life by many problems, tasks and situations and has to endure all kinds of unpleasant things and sometimes also has to bear immense suffering, he/she must still take care to always remain human. He/she must always be human under all circumstances, and this obliges him/her to the dialogue with the fellow human beings. This means, however, that he/she must also create a mutual understanding and has to strive for love, peace, freedom, harmony and for reconciliation. Therefore, it is necessary, again and again, to seek an understanding with the fellow human beings and to make efforts in order to consistently cultivate good and valueful interhuman relationships in a peaceful wise.
Every human being must find a consensus, i.e. a concordance with every other human being, in order to live with him/her in love, peace, freedom and harmony. In doing so, there must be no resentment, as also no hatred, no jealousy, no egotism, no anger and no rage, no unhonesty and also nothing else that could affect the relationship in any form. There must also be no falseness and no despondency, to the contrary, however, refreshing humor, human warmth, sincere friendliness and true kindheartedness. Personal deep blows of fate suffered in the life of the human being must not play any role in this, rather it must be learned to laugh in the face of this, because it is only in this wise that the inner peace and the inner freedom and harmony can be found and maintained. And all of this includes also the many and varied questions of the everyday life, of life in and of itself, of the dying and the death as well as of the life-formation, which must be satisfactorily answered in order to understand everything and also in this respect to find the inner peace and inner calm and to be without anxiousness/fear. Also, all sorts of suddenly arising situations, happenings and difficulties must be mastered, which often require an in-depth consideration. In addition, the "teaching of the truth, teaching of the spirit, teaching of the life" also helps in many things, which invite learning, pausing and dwelling (to consider). This teaching brings many inspirations in times of uncertainty, as well as giving impulses for the thoughts and feelings as well as for the conduct, when the human being delves into the teaching and concerns himself/herself with it in his/her daily life in his/her world of thoughts and feelings.
It is the individual human being who can make a difference, by which a better world-picture arises for him/her and the humankind. Even the slightest ideas, thoughts as well as feelings can set powerful things in motion and bring about changes to the better. A good impulse of an individual can already effectuate a quite valueful change of consciousness to the good in many human beings. And this is not only possible in the realm of simple educated human beings, but also in the case of scholars, with the poor and with the rich as well as in society, just as in families and circles of friends.
