[Hujkmlopes]

My eyes have very recently been opened and so much of my being is still possessed with worldy needs. I however do look at materialistic items from a practical point of view and try to be humble and practise resistance to over-abundance or feeding the soul with temporary satisfactions of obtaining worldy items.

My question is, and this is something I struggle with, how do I found a balance between love, compassion and humility, but still not bare myself open to the world which will try and invade my believes? Is there a balance between being humble and not tolerating the someone walking, or trying, to walk over you? Do I find balance in protecting my loved ones from dangers, not always related to being threathened directly, but possibly threathened by people trying to "do them in", for a lack of a better phrase.

I find I get terrible road rage when other drivers deliberately put not just their lives, but mine, in danger. I get annoyed at politics and when my family is threathened I feel I need to step in, but I also understand that the heart will only find peace when it follows peace, no one will find peace but taking the passages leading to unrest.
