Ignorance

Awareness makes us acutely conscious of our ignorance. It wakes us up. We are not enlightened or saintly. 
Our perspective has broadened a little and some barriers have fallen. Nothing more.

An awakened person can only feel happiness and freedom when it is not at the expense of others.
What use is freedom when another person pays for your pleasure?
Compassion compels us to live a considerate life. A life of kindness and equanimity.
We see balance. We see discord and harmony. We see possibilities.

Keeping quiet is essential.

If you draw attention to yourself, you tread on somebody else's feet.
This creates discord.
It is far better to remain silent and unknown. Anonymous and silent.

A quiet person does not parade their skills or demonstrate their accomplishments. They remain humble and reserved.
