Hello Michelle,

I went on a few different forum topics to give a few threads, some enlightenment. Mainly the ones that seem to be stuck in a rut.

It’s not my intention to cause offence. Few might go on the defense. Given the circumstances of the world right now, for many on this thread it is time for a PUSH. I agree one or two cases which are fairly recent need sympathy but even them cases can benefit from seeing the bigger picture and stop the downward spiral you described.

I couldn’t agree more there is a need for balance between sympathy and dose of harsh reality. Too much sympathy makes our “victim” thoughts feel validated. It makes us repeat the same mistakes. Too less sympathy makes us feel alone and these feeds our insecurities and negative thoughts.

This is a post based on the perspective of the WORLD SITUATION. It is an opportunity like I said to really come out as better people. Those who are self aware and willing to see beyond the superficial layers of this situation will grasp how now is the time to change. Those who don’t will simply go back to their old ways having learnt nothing. With no new sense of appreciation or understanding of the lessons this pandemic is meant to teach us about every single aspect of life.

The situations we find ourselves in requires accepting responsibility. It requires drawing a line and making better choices and decisions.

People always find themselves in situations as a result of their own ACTIONS. We form the wrong type of addictions. If an ex was abusive or an ex doesn’t want you – instead of accepting and removing oneself from the situation , we crawl back again towards the fire then wonder why we are unhappy, hurt or burnt again?

Become addicted to making the world a better place, helping others. Become addicted to positive mentality. Become addicted to surrounding yourself with better people, making wiser CHOICES!

Take this virus we all face as an analogy.
You are taking precautions. Making sacrifices (not seeing your families etc, losing money etc) but you continue to stay inside despite your desperate desire to have freedom because you know it is for the greater good.

This is how your mind should be rewired to think about life itself. So you learn to accept that shit happens, some things in life are not good for you. You fight it by not indulging in a negative train of thought. That’s protection from desire.

Going through the same thoughts or ruminating on a situation which can not be changed or is no good for us is also parasitic in nature. You will continue to infect and spread it throughout your mind. What have you achieved – loss of life.

I’m trying to encourage an awakening in people’s soul and minds. They spend years in therapy. Years mourning. Years wasting their life on negative energy. Not really moving. Just stationary. If this pandemic doesn’t alter their line of thought then I doubt anything will. They will spend their lives continually falling into the same habits, patterns and waste life. If the daily death we are seeing in front of our very own eyes doesn’t make you want to enjoy life going forward as a better, wiser human being. Then sadly this pandemic will have taught you nothing. Is the way you exist today the way a gift as precious as life, should be treated?
