If you stay mindfully aware of the whole context of every interaction, you will also remember to be extra careful when you are vulnerable. If you are grieving the loss of someone or something you love, for instance, it may take less provocation to make you angry. You know, then, to be especially careful around other people, like a man without shoes walking softly where there may be glass. This is important, too, when you are ill, tired, hungry, lonely, in pain, or just plain grouchy. When you are under stress, moment-to-moment mindfulness helps you remember your vulnerability and avoid regrettable actions. Bhante Henepola Gunaratana. Photo by Jessica.
