Scrutiny of thought, of speech, of relationships becomes second nature to you. Ultimately, they disturb your peace, your calmness. So you take a little time to reflect on your whole life and your real needs. Everything is there, but we must learn how to select. As we go on asking those questions, slowly we understand that the world is like a candy store and that sometimes we are like children.
Candies are colorful.
They are beautifully wrapped. They attract us, and before we know it, we swallow them, not knowing how they will affect our health, our teeth, or our blood sugar level. When our mind is in a childish, immature state, it likes to grab whatever it is given. At the same time, it has the tendency to want more and more. Once grabbing enters one's life, it works like sugar entering the bloodstream.
