Old logic

          Birth itself is occasioned because of one’s imprints and thus you chose your own parents. Likewise the imprints that you were born with and the imprints you acquired later through your life-partner. The life-links already established between the husband-to-be or and the wife-to-be were reflected in the minds of parents and elders who were only agents to work out the modalities of the alliance. If you understand this cold logic would you think there is any point or purpose in blaming your life-partner? If at all there is anyone to blame for the alliance, it is yourself! Cursing your life-partner or others for what is basically your own making would only add to your adverse imprints and this, in turn, would bring more suffering to you. Decide here and now to be adaptable, forgiving and magnanimous in your conduct with your life-partner.
