He had achieved harmony simply by accepting it. - narration, regarding Gurney Halleck

I'm pretty sure that there's something you dislike in this world. Maybe being 'pretty sure' isn't quite the right word. I AM sure. Let's give a very common example: Wars. Who here likes wars? Wars involve killing, and if you are one of the soldiers, you would be pointing a gun at someone you most likely didn't even meet before in you life and are trying to kill each other. Nowadays, battles are conducted more technologically and sophisicatedly. Instead of old school battles with swords, bows and arrows, warhammers, axes and all that kind of stuff and blood flowing everywhere in the battlefield, we use advanced weapons: guns of all sorts. Then missiles. Then probably a nuclear war. We just have to press a buttons to fire a missile to kill a large number of people, no longer having to kill your enemy with you bare hands holding onto some old and outdated weapons. Maybe the experiences of killing someone at your own hands never belonged to any of the soldiers now, that they wouldn't experience themselves with their hands shaking after a murder. Yes, murder. With a cause. We may not hate war now like we used to on the killing people side after advances in technology but we could still dislike wars due to it's aftermath. Deaths of soldiers and innocent civillians. Lives of people were disrupted. Economy of countries in ruins. Ya, whatever you can think of. But the main point is we dislike wars. At least the most of us do. However, we cannot remove it completely out of this world. There are still heated conflicts all over the world, whether it's during the past, the present or the possible future. Civil wars, revolution, world wars, economic war, war for resources, or just war. We can't simply stop these things from happening over and over again in history even though most of us dislike it. Besides disliking wars, there could be lots of stuff that people dislike. Maybe your friend's attitude, disliking the lousy and inefficient computer, when you are late for the bus and train everytime, the fact that your friends are richer than you, your friends who don't regard you as one of them, the fact that you are born stupid or ugly or less competent or talented. These small little things that you may dislike... Yes name it all, discover the fact that you have always been grumbling about some stuff. Although you may dislike it, but you cannot just take it out of your life and your life consists of only the things that you like. Life don't work that way. For example, if you dislike your friend who is just very loud, noisy and irritating, you can't take him away from your life. Maybe unless you murder him which is a very stupid and reckless move. He would still be in perhaps your school life until the day he leaves. And for some cases, the things that you dislike is stuck in your life forever, nothing you do can remove it from your life. That's why you have to tolerate and think of solutions to these problems. You shouldn't have the mindset that the world should go your way coz' it never happens. Think it over.
