While living in China, I was amazed at the customary use of fireworks. There are many occasions they were used, but in order to announce and celebrate a wedding was awesome, disturbing, beautiful and aggravating. They do not pop a few hundred firecrackers but thousands upon thousands and it can go on for 30 minutes or longer. This ritual can start at 6AM just as easy as it could be at 1 AM.

All around the world people have adopted various rituals that to an outsider seem so bizarre. My first thought was, how refreshing a bucket of water could be in such a hot climate :). Then, as you mentioned, how irritating it could be when you're not in the mood for it. You share with us a great description of how to reframe an unwanted situation. Thank you!

Every moment of every day we decide with our words, thoughts and actions whether we are victims or overcomers. There is depth and great learning by accepting what crosses our path serves to bring more awareness, not cause us damage. Embracing full ownership of the fact that we are the orchestrators of our experience is the most freedom one can know. Thoughts are powerful and the ability to consciously choose them is empowering.
