CONSIDERATION FOR OTHERS

Let us consider that you are driving your car on the road when you see another car coming from the opposite direction. At that moment, you have two choices. One is to continue driving in the middle of the road as before. The other is to steer your car to the side and let the oncoming vehicle pass.

What should you do in such a situation? You always steer your car to the side. If you keep driving straight, your car will crash into the oncoming vehicle. The outcome will be that instead of reaching your destination, you might end up in a cemetery or end up in the hospital with injuries. But when you move your car to the side, both you and your vehicle remain safe, and you reach your destination without any harm.

This is the secret of life in this world. No vehicle is alone on the road; many other vehicles are also running on the road. Therefore, everyone has to consider others. The same applies broadly to all human life. You are not alone in this current world. Many other people are also living their lives and pursuing their activities with full energy. In such a situation, the secret to success in the broader scope of life is the same as in a road journey: striving for your goals while giving due consideration to others.

Just as you are aware of your own feelings, you must also understand the feelings of others. Just as you know your own plans, you must also be aware of the plans of others. Just as you seek your own benefit, you must also understand what others’ interests are and how they plan to achieve them. In this world, only those who, along with understanding themselves, also understand others, succeed.
