"My teachings are just like using an empty fist to deceive a child. You know, when you play games with a child, and you pretend like you have something in your fist? The child will go into a fit, trying to get you to open your hand and show them whats in there. And then when you do, there's nothing. Fooled.

So you see you can be fooled, as long as you can be fooled.

When you cant be fooled, you don't ask the question anymore."

Imagine yourself as the baby who keeps being tricked by the closed empty fist!!! When you finally learn theres NOTHING to be found in the hand, you stop falling for the tricks!

Now apply that logic to people or issues in your life

Thank you for explaining this to me as we don’t play this game here.
This is quite true as I could relate this to one friendship. I just broke off with a friend as I realized that I had been used. I was helping her with many things and helped her looking for a new apartment. I sacrificed my time and energy for her. But she showed me her selfishness and disregard for me. I was hurt, disappointed and upset! Now! No more! I am staying away from her for she did not know how to respect a good friend!

You are very perceptive!! But this kind of experience will harden one’s feelings?!

Thanks.

Thank you!!! Your story about your (used to be) friend is a perfect example.

Your experiences and truths may harden your feelings, or maybe they just mature them???
