Everyone has their own way to reside, live and act. If we must mingle with the family, we need to behave according to their ways. If we want to stay with harmony, there should be happiness in tolerance with knowledge and awareness. Life gets wretched by bearing forcibly and against the will. There is lots of unexpressed unhappiness, hate and dislike in the mind. It never happens that our own person will always behave as we think or wish. When we are ignorant regarding our own faults, forbearance and high mindedness, to believe that our understanding is proper in all circumstances is wrong. Also, there is ignorance in that belief. Some people have the mentality that whatever they understand is always correct and everything must be done according to their wishes. This is a kind of self-will.
