81: Key and Lock

Keys, needless to say, are used to open locks. Without the specific key for a specific lock, you cannot open it, forever, unless you break up the lock, but some locks are so solid that a normal guy cannot break it up. Once you break it up, it is then damaged, and cannot return to original.

Is there any key to open the locks between people?

If you have never thought of but you are given this key, will you open the lock out of curiosity? After you opened, will it be the same as you expected? Would this unlock fulfill your expectation?

If you want this key very much and eventually you get it, will you open the lock? How would you feel if it exceeds your expectation? On the contrary, how would you feel is it disappoints you?

If you want this key very much and you have stolen it one day, will you open the lock? After you have seen what’s inside, would you pretend you have never? Or admit? Is pretend or admit a right option?

If you don’t have the key and you make a wrong decision to break it up, the lock will be damaged, and you may also get hurt. This is a double loss.

For each case, many other questions will come.

In a passive yet active position may be better. One does not need to get the key and open the locks by oneself. Instead, one can be more active in doing things which would inspire and induce another to open his lock for you. Open your own lock to induce another to open his lock.

If you have tried your best but another does not open his lock, this lock is not for you to open. For you is for you, not for you is not for you. But if you choose not to give up and finally the lock is opened for you, the happiness would be out of your expectation.

Be natural but patient, and easy come, easy go. Many locks are around you.
