‘THE INVISIBLE WOUND’ – THE AFTERMATH OF CONFLICTS AND DISPUTES
Master Jun Hong Lu: One of the reasons we as humans suffer is because of our inability to see the reality, we are as if blind to the true nature of things. All conflicts and complex interpersonal relationships entail invisible wounds.
After having a row with someone, you may say, “Hey, I am cool about it. We were just joking. I won’t take it to heart”. But it will still leave behind unseen and hidden sorrows. Hence, no matter what happens, we must learn to take things easy because when a dispute or conflict happens, you will definitely suffer from its aftermath. This explains why a wise person always seeks tranquillity.
