Our real hearts, vs the "Wounded" heart
Love the other person.
Love ourselves.
Love our good days.
Love our bad days.
Love the other person's good and bad days.
We are curious and compassionate and generous about our and their
bad days, or moments.
We know that people don't "act out," or act mean, or lie, or act selfishly unless they are
in
pain.
Pain is enough
of a pain,
and if we condemn it, this isn't love.
This is the same old shit of parents,
and teachers,
and religious leaders who disguise the God thing
for various control trips.
Oh, well.
That's their business.
Our business,
if we want a happy, awakened and useful life:
Watch for others' real nature:
under the wound,
under the "behavior" we think
"should"
be different:
who is the real,
amazing,
same as us,
even though completely unique
person?
AND ON THE OTHER HAND
za wounded heart:
wants others to be wounded,
envies others,
lashes out,
can't be kind,
wants to complain,
wants to put down,
wants to run away when things get "too good,"
wants to run away when things get "tricky,"
wants to control
wants to self absorb
blah, blah, blah
basically:
when we are unhappy, and wanting the other (or ourselves)
to be different,
we
are
not present
and our wounded heart,
which means our mindless self,
which means our unhappy conditioning can run the show.
It's all or nothing,
not in a big Hollywood movie way,
but moment by moment:
are we mindful
or
are
we
mindless
Choose
the choice is the glory
of human life
and the amazing grace
is that this choice is
always
NOW
wow
good for us
good for life
good for all our awakened moments,
good for the suffering from our mindless moments, the pain of which is the
WAKE UP ALARM
YES.
good
