I can more easily forgive a reactionary response given in a moment of heat, than a fake facade that was pretending to be my friend just because it wanted to achieve something.
All things you do for or say to others is feedback.
Watch the sneaky judgement that your words and actions build upon. You may be indirectly telling others that they need to change, and that may harm them even if your intention is good and you think you know what they need. Chances are you do not.
The little brother (or sister) of the Ego is the Shadow. While the Ego is our good child, the Shadow is our defiant child.
The Ego will inevitably fail at creating meaningful success, no matter how well-intentioned, as it’s understanding of the divine reality it often tries to create is too limited. When nothing works as the Ego planned, and everything is chaos, the Shadow comes out to destroy anything that was perceived as stopping the Ego’s (misplaced) efforts, normally using methods totally opposing the Ego’s ideals. With that, the Shadow eliminates all chances of success as the Ego sees it, and the only option is to escape or suffer, unless the adult of the psyche – the Self – takes over and cleans up the mess.
❤ But remember, both kids did their best, also today. Give them a hug. They both need love, particularly after such a day. ❤
Our deepest feelings – good and bad – sooner or later become our reality – they become who we are. They are the seeds of our karma.
Thank you for near killing me with your hurt feelings. Thank you for feeling so poorly about me. Your feelings burned right through my fears of seeing my own feelings and thus purged my negative karma, so that I no longer have to become what you say I am.
Don’t cling to the bad, there are far better experiences waiting for you if you move on.
Some people say we need evil in the world to know what good is.
I say we need compassion and care in the world to know what good is.
There is enough hardship and strife and hard days in a human life to need evil to show us bad.
Be kind with your fellow man, he might be going through rough times, and the last thing we need, are more crushed people.
