The Hodja (Nasreddin Hodja) summarized all the wisdom expressed by the ideas that have been verbalized in all cultures of the world.
“In the pursuit of happiness, accept yourself as you are. When you accept yourself as you are , you are already a different person. Then, seeing your real self in others, you can then do unto others as you would like done to you,”
All cultures recognize this concept as true . . .
Knowing is based on life experience including observation, learning and choices between alternatives. Believing is the acceptance between alternatives based on current cultural acceptable values or acceptable behaviors based on faith.
How can we know that this is TRUE
The fundamental desire that drives of all human beings is survival and the key to survival can be summed up in one single word and that word is LOVE. Love is a chemical reaction in the brain that stimulates a physical response of satisfaction. Attached to that reaction is the impulse to repeat that experience of satisfaction as often as possible to sustain our lives. Lack of this satisfaction or the doubt to achieve it, we have come to know as FEAR.
At birth, the fundamental urge for life sustaining resourses, when achieved, is that emotional stimulation of satisfaction we have come to know as love. The bond formed between parent and child is the delivery of the satisfaction received from the parent , and in addition, the parents acceptance of satishfaction received from the child. Failure to achieve this satisfaction effects the parent and or the child.
Love and Fear are linked together in brain that forms the concept of the Ego. Every success and every failure to experience love has its refection in the building of our personal identity. Therefore, we seek insight into the concept of LOVE and FEAR in our Idenitity where the EGO is fragile.
