SEEKING TO
MOVE PAST ANGER
“A truly
compassionate attitude toward others does not change
Even if they behave
negatively or hurt you.”
― Dalai Lama XIV
There are so
many layers of STUFF on my plate now. So
many angry people I do not have enough fingers and toes to count all the anger
around me now.
... as the Dalai Lama says (to paraphrase)
.....'I lock myself in my room and then I have anger inside'.... geezzz ain't
that the truth. I can't blame the angry
stuff on others cuz I have it too !!!! The
anger of others hits me cuz I have the flaws inside for it to catch on. So, taking responsibility for the perception
of so much anger hitting me now.
I just want to get off this wheel of karma. It has become such a BORING RIDE / BORING GAME. ... Second verse same as the first...
That means not being pushed by 'the good
guys' or 'the bad guys'. This means recognizing there are no good or bad guys. I do not know what will be happening over the
next week.... all is in flux.
I think this
no good guys / no bad guys is a major life lesson for me. It is a good learning
and painful. What is surprising is the major pain associated with this comes
from a direction I had not expected ... it comes more from the perceived 'good
guys'... when I would expect it to come from the perceived 'bad buys'. I see
the pain from the good guys is related to my caring what they think and feel
...more than I care what the bad guys think and feel. Then I feel guilty for
differentiating good guys and bad guys..... Gee whiz

Lesson -
learning to come from a LOVE that has naught to do with person and personality
while simultaneously embracing our humanity.
