Acceptance

Confession: Session 2

Trunks Bay

I am tired of complacent people. I am tired of miserable people. The phrase “Misery loves company” is too real for comfort. It’s quite disturbing actually; How comfortable people are at sharing their unhappiness.

Are you not embarrassed? Do you not think some things are personal and should not be shared?

If so, then you can agree your unhappiness is your responsibility to fix and should not be spread like an STD.

Sometimes, there is not time to build new relationships. Sometimes you must sit down and deal with yourself. Take time to reflect. I get it though, operating in a phase of survival, you cannot possibly image a peaceful moment, a second without pain.

Yet, it is doable. And it is your job to figure your crap out instead of draining life force energy from innocent souls that saw a glimmer of positivity and worth inside you.

It baffles me, that a person can breathe life into someone during their time of need just for that person to turn around, ignore the effort in the notion “help thy neighbor”, as well as, the age old rule “treat people how you want to be treated” and become pure takers.

Like who raised you?

Epiphany:

Everyone is not raised by parents. They have been in a state of survival their entire life, raised themselves; Sprinkle too much time spent being a consumer, watching the television and social media, now you have the complete formula for an emotionally immature, selfish adult child that can not comprehend how effective communication, emotional intelligence, and a little compassion could make the slightest difference.

Can you hold it against them? Even though they have never been shown real genuine care, affection, and empathy?

Surprisingly, the answer is “No”.

An unhealed person, people with mental health issues, or those that are comfortable in their stagnation and ineptitude do not have a pass to continuously inflect trauma and hardships onto their friends, supporters, and loved ones.

The true answer is acceptance.

Within your spiritual, healing, growth, or soul searching, there is a point where you have to accept that you can; Only meet people at the level they have met themselves, communicate with someone that has the goal to listen and comprehend, not just listen to rebuttal and judge.

You will learn not everyone is your cup of tea and some people can not go with you into your next stage of life.

"Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath;"- Psalms 37-7&8

As always thanks for reading, Keep Open Ears, Eyes & Mind, 'till next time.
