What would we do....

   I was thinking about something. It was about how we love to be outraged at other people's wrongness. We love to hop on our high horse, claim someone to be lesser than we are. Less moral, less enlightened, Less evolved, Less christian.... etc etc etc... name your self righteousness.

As I sit here, I wonder how much I do this. It's not a matter of if I do it, I know I do. The question is when I'm doing it and how to deal with it. Certainly keep that in mind as I tap into this little missive.

What would we do without or victim status. Yes, I know there are real victims out there. Real people hurt in real ways, by real things... but what would we possible do without feeling sorry for ourselves, as though we have been wronged.

What would we do if we couldn't blame everyone else for making us unhappy, for making us feel bad about ourselves. Mostly I believe I hate myself, mostly for being human. For not being a superhero.

What would we do without being able to tell ourselves someone is stopping us, making us miserable, Irritating us.... etc

Probably start taking ownership of our lives.....

It's dangerous... well dangerous to take ownership.....

but Yes.... Sometimes we can't do it... Sometimes life is so insurmountable... and... bad things happen. You are right, nothing can be done about that stuff. What I think you can do is keep your eye on your life... take ownership of your motion, of your presence, of your.... Breath as the yogies say... That you can own.

Maybe if you have your "presence", Your breath... maybe we realize that the external stuff isn't changing our breath or "Presence"... I don't know.
