while seeing amma she made the comment that those who give others the silent treatment and stick their nose up in the air actually have a form of mental illness. sometimes we wonder about ourselves when this treatment is given to us however we should realize that people do practice meaness and this kind of behavior is a result of beimg so wrapped up in ourselves and our ego that there is only one view; our own.
In the long or short of it some of us come around to mirror us back smiplified. Some people
become so complicated in the conundrums of their thoughts and feelings that its good to look
in the clear mirror of simplification.

hey Jitendra !

ever think of the possibility that life could be presenting people with a detour ?
and what is thought " silent treatment " isn't really so ?
I travel from branch to branch, exploring the forest

not always available for communication
maybe take amma saying with grain of salt ? or pepper ?
adds to flavor of a meal

Confucious say " man who walks with nose in air, trips over own feet "

Definatlely; for the person that the silemt treatment is given to there is a detour..
understanding where the problem lies gives the determination to move on.
When we see and understand such detours we know there is nothing we can do
to help. All we can do is wait till the path becomes clear again. It is important to read
the signs that others put up. Jumping from tree to tree is one thing. However; if a friend
is consistantly unavailable we understand that we can only wait for them to realize
where the problem lies or we can decide to never return to that road again. It is best to recognise
the symptoms of illness. It can save you from undeserved grief. Some people leave a trail
littered with pain and sorrow. Until they recognize this there is nothing you can do to help.
It is wise to get a grasp of that fact.
In the long or short of it some of us come around to mirror us back simplified. Some people
become so complicated in the conundrums of their thoughts and feelings that its good to look
in the clear mirror of simplification to save us from exhaustion.
