Be judicious as you make generalizations about groups of humans, for in so doing you may well fail to see the finer details which make each human unique. Yes, there are some things that can be said about groups as a whole, but it is the individual paint strokes that make up the masterpiece. Be curious. Look more closely. Investigate claims and biases and stereotypes that reflect the brain’s propensity to categorize at the expense of noticing attributes that are quite the opposite of what you might expect. What would you like others who might generalize to know about you, beautiful soul?
You are so very loved.
I noticed that the fabric of things is already woven. Trying to not go with the flow of things doesn’t ever effect me. My decisions and actions affect everyone else no matter what I do differently. To tell you the truth, I’ve lost enough because of my actions and stubborn will to not to submit. I need figure out how to except loss and responsibility for it. When there is a choice to not have others suffer on my behalf I need to choose it and not be selfish. I’m way too smart for my own good. I need a real private environment for a few days in nature to just let it all sink in. It’s a simple equation really, ( accept responsibility for the pain I’ve caused others and still do, accept responsibility for losing what I thought I never could or go on causing others to suffer. Looking at it now, I have to endure anything and everything so others have that opportunity. I hate the fact that my brother actually sacrificed everything for his family on the hopes I could figure out how to protect what he loved. Grave mistakes have grave consequences. I’m done trying to figure out how to win this battle. Sadly I can’t believe I’ve known the answer the entire time. If a have taken the roll of protection and they trusted me, then I must know when and how to surrender or face losing everyone. Today, right now, I surrender not because I’m not a fighter or I’m scared of the “enemy” but because I know exactly how dark the world is and what it’s capable of. Somehow I must do anything and everything to become a new person. I choose to be anything I’m needed to be to make sure I can at least mitigate loss and pain. That means changing every fiber of my being so hopefully no one else has to. Anyway, hopefully I can figure out this new me. I need to focus mentally and take care of myself physically, he’ll I’m the lucky one, my brother was way stronger than I thought.
Devon, we are, each and all, new people every day, and along with the new, are remnants of the old. Sure. But – Memories and/of experiences show themselves to be temporary, because they develop new insights and experiences through daily reflections, thought, information and guidances etc.. The newness is the saving graces upon which we consciously or unconsciously rely. Like the sun, we seem to rise. But we are in fact present all the time. In that presence – We can aim for what seems better, we can do our best, and we can accept results or refuse to accept – any of that, really. Life is not just your responsibility to “do.” It’s a process… …one that exists around us all, and it is a process that is IN us all. You need not get down on yourself nor others, you need not elevate yourself nor others, you need not anything …EXCEPT …to learn there is a LOVING flow that guides you, at any given time, because every day each and every one of us are new.
EVEN THAT, you MAY accept or reject
THAT choice was not UP TO any one of us. That is a choice that is GIVEN US BY that LOVING FLOW.
Hurt, help, sorrow, joy, best worst, etc…. are reflections in and/or around you. You can use them as tools if you want, but remember, reflections are imagery. They fade and change. They are not the end-all-be-all. They are the ever-changing landscape.
The LOVING FLOW is all you will ever need. Abide in its graces and be thankful.
There is no loss there.
