Isn’t it strange that each of us has so much beauty & so much ugliness co-existing in our soul ………..
I really find it difficult to come in terms with the fact that the same person who is so sweet to me and would go to any extent to help me out could be so mean & ugly to some other person. And how am I suppose to react, when other person is recounting the (true) ugly interactions he/she had with person , while I have seen just the most loving & sweetest side of their nature?
Why do we allow the circumstances to influence so much that we react in totally different manner? Why do we allow our behavior/reactions to be influenced by the outside interactions rather than being defined by the person we really are?
Reflections 
I remember reading in one of the i-ching literature that we all live life in complete circle. Or in more mathematical form, summation of all our act (or Karma) in our life is equal to zero. For every good act we do in our life-span, we are also guilty of doing an equally bad act, consciously or sub-consciously.Even more interestingly, it stated that at any instant of time, summation of all the karma of the universe is zero that means at any instant number of good acts happening in the world is equal to number of bad acts. It claimed that this conservation of Karma is necessary for the balance of universe.
That is really interesting and kind of makes sense… Otherwise there have been times in my life when I hear the doings of the person I had put on pedestal and feel so confused. I mean then people around u tell you that that u are too naive to trust people & all.
