It could have been the company, the fun and games, culminated with a movie on martial arts and philosophy (The Grand Master, 2013, Wong Kai Fai) - but this evening has been one of the more humbling experiences. I realised some things, things that are glaring but I was blind to. Like pride, expression of friendship and love, personally and societally.
There are things I thought I knew, but it took words spoken in gentleness and love to show me that there is a better way of doing things. Not more efficient, but more loving - thus better.
I thought I was without pride, but I realised that my movements and actions were sometimes steeped in ego and deep fried in dignity, when truthfulness would have melted far more icebergs and saved me a lot of sinkings. Perhaps I had found someone to answer my questions. I found a teacher.
I am ready.
