I had written about 'Solutions'
This is adding to that...paraphrasing from today's meditation of Hazrat Inayat Khan:
What he said was:
There are many paths, and each man considers his own the best and wisest. Let each one choose that which belongs to his own temperament.
My paraphrase is:
There are many solutions to a problem (and here I am talking about the problems we face, and the difficult situations that we often find ourselves in), and each man considers his own the best and wisest......our well-wishers, the friends who dearly love us, our parents, our siblings, all offer us their best solutions, solutions which have worked for them in similar or near-similar situations. However, let each one choose that which belongs to his own temperament.....simply because even if the context is the same, each person has their own personality....their own chemistry....their own emotional/psychological/mental make-up, their own depth of intelligence, and their own understanding and interpretation of words and thoughts....and the tiniest thing could just make the difference for good or worse...
And so we have to tailor the solution/solutions/parts of solutions to what we would be temperamentally suited to do and comfortable with.....for it is only that that will work for us...
