A Message to Brighten Tomorrow / Written by Masami Saionji

This world is about the interactions between people. 

Therefore, I think it is important to learn the tips on how to get along well with others.

First of all, when interacting with people, the most important thing to keep in mind is whether you can behave naturally. 

Being natural might seem simple, but it is one of the hardest things to achieve.

Being natural means not hiding anything about yourself and letting the other person see you as you are. 

If you have intentions such as wanting to appear bigger, wanting to be seen as a competent person, or wanting to be seen as a sincere person, you will not be able to behave naturally with people you meet for the first time. 

As a result, the other person will not evaluate you correctly, and you might lose the connection with a person who could be essential in your life. 

Therefore, when interacting with people, the most important thing is to expose your true self with a bare heart. 

Those who can do this will be able to gain many friends of various types.

Having many friends means you can get help in many ways. 

When you face difficult situations or fall into tragic circumstances, true friends are the ones who will genuinely help you.

People who are competent and have a thirst for knowledge, or those in leadership positions, often have arrogance and prejudice, making it difficult for them to interact naturally with others. 

They tend to want to show off their importance, knowledge, or assert what kind of person they are. 

Even if they speak honestly about themselves, if there are lies or pretenses, no one will truly respect them, and people will not want to be their friends.

People who care about how they are perceived cannot make good friends at that moment and cannot live their lives with confidence.

Those who have conviction and ability do not have such petty thoughts as wanting to be well thought of or caring about how others perceive them.

Most people unconsciously compare themselves when interacting with others. 

If they think they are superior in terms of education, talent, or knowledge, they suddenly want to show off. If they think they are inferior, they lose confidence. 

Such people are not yet mature.

Truly mature people never compare themselves with others. 

They have confidence in themselves, so they try to see the good in others.

No matter what others think of them, they do not make excuses or try to cover up. 

They do not go out of their way to let others know what they are doing. 

They think it is enough to let people see them as they are.

Therefore, I believe that humans should live with a good sense of pride, dignity, and self-respect, with an awareness of being children of God.

Everyone, in the end, reveals themselves as children of God. 

The difference is whether it is sooner or later. 

Some people are slow, and some are fast, due to the karma of past lives, but what we must be most mindful of in our current lives is to interact with people with a bare heart, without embellishing ourselves. 

I hope you will cherish such valuable connections and relationships with others.
