Don't take yourself too seriously

Sometimes taking oneself seriously, far too seriously can lead to uncalled for anger. A matter of false pride and super ego where you consider yourself beyond correction and beyond reproach.
A lil bit of humility can easily allow oneself from taking criticism in a positive light and then even if the criticism was meant as an attempt to deliberately piss you off, you can get get away with trying to draw some positivity out of it.
Ofcourse that doesn't mean that you let everyone walk all over you .But , yes, just let it go sometimes in terms of ego battles and walk away from it and then peace prevails.
personally ,I think that if everyone knew their true worth and what they can or cannot do or what they deserve or don't deserve and have the capacity to objectivly assess their own flaws , there will really not be any ego clashes at all. If everyone knew their place and everyone acknowleged their duties and if everyone remained grounded , there won't be disputes.
Alas that doesnt happen.A lot of people don't work hard enough for what they covet.Yet, they want what they covet though they don't deserve it.While some others have a false evaulation of the worht of their own work, they overappraise it and therefore get angry when they don't get what they anticipate should be the reward for such worthy piece of work, when infact their work is all but mediocre.
So yeah, being in touch with reality is so so important. Helps us deal with disappointments in an objective manner.

Is ignorance really bliss?

I see a lot of women, who really get treated like second grade citizens at home.They get treated like idiots (though i am pretty sure no one really is born an idiot) and yet these women seem to be blissfully ignorant of the fact that they are being treated like shit.It could be coping mechanism they have developed over the years by having to deal with insensitive disrespectful family member and at the work place or perhaps it is that they were never aware that this particular behavior being meted out to them is disrespectful in the first place.
You see, if you are a personality that have never been ever exposed to anything other than women being talked down to or women never getting a chance to assert themselves, that is what you are used to and so it never occurs to you that you are being abuse.This lack of knowledge probably allows these women to lead a whole life time of disrespect without understanding.
I mean, there are going to be those some women who though they have only seen women abused all their lives but yet they are able to question it and then comes the painful knowledge of bad treatment and once the knowledge occurs one cannot go back to that place of blissful ignorant peace. You see, as long as you are not aware you have the cancer, you are at peace. Perhaps in certain situations which are irrepairable ignorant bliss serves as an antidote to anger
