Sickness and death show us how helpless we really are.
Life is unfair! It’s getting worse!
Ironically, it’s what we do to avoid being helpless, that sets up our lifetime of hurts and struggles.
Our struggle to control
What should we do when we don’t want to feel helpless anymore?
We are always going to be helpless!
But, what if we don’t wish to feel that way!
It’s universal.
We all choose control!
Unfortunately, control causes just about all the hurt throughout the human race!
Which we all feel!
What shall we do with our hurt?
Shall we fight back?
Will that change those who hurt us?
We all know it won’t!
Will that improve our lives? Will it make us feel better?
Our fight to have more power than those who hurt us only does one thing!
It destroys our inner peace. That’s usually permanent!
It puts us on a quest that we can seldom escape from!
Most of the human race
Where we are now? We’re in defiance!
Most, if not all of us, are in a struggle for the power to defeat others who wish to control us.
Unfortunately, in this quest, we lose connection with everything most loving within ourselves!
Also, of course, we begin causing the same hurt to others, that already happened to us.
Escape!
Once begun, attempting to let go of our quest for control is difficult, or even impossible.
Being aware of the goal helps.
Inner peace at last!
The goal is to back off and allow all other lives respect and their freedom!
Most especially the infants! Being free from immediate hurt, they have a far better chance of avoiding the same path!
They will manage survival just fine. Self-esteem will power them through everything in their way!
This is what life is designed for!
Life comes from within!
Allow that, and the hurt never starts!
They won’t have to defend themselves from hurt.
They can remain pristine!
There’s a bonus! Anybody allowed to live from inside and use their own power, is a good guy.
There are no bad guys when this happens! That’s because everybody can feel their own needs.
Is it worth it? Is it worth giving up the struggle and accepting what life brings?
Well, it’s the only road back to inner peace and the return of our own inner power!
Thanks for listening!
