"WE MUST DO BETTER"!
Somewhere in the world, someone just said this very statement. In some context or another. It might have even been you. I believe it to be true. Too true. It won't be an easy task; you know? It is understood that it will take some work. Yet, many refuse to acknowledge that the work required will be needed on self. How can we require that someone listen; but deny a listening ear? How can we demand help; then, turn a deaf ear when our help is desired? How can we trully love; if we don't fully understand the concept? How can we expect respect; but we refuse to give it? We tend to outsource our character flaws onto others as emotional grievences. More often than not, when the issues are honestly assessed there is a realization that the problem does not originate with said party. Our problems are exactly that: "our" problems. Whether you want to accept it or not. Whenever I have negative feelings about someone, I tend to ask myself," what is it about them, that I don't like about myself?" If we could just be humble and honest with ourselves; I think the world could become a better place.
I am a firm believer in that the energy that you put out unto the universe will be returned to you. It is one of my many mantras and has been proven to me time and time again. Be honest with yourself; you've seen it, too.
