Hi Everyone!
Today I read the parable of the jewel in the robe.
This resonates with me quite a lot.
I do not want much. Part of me wants for more but another part is content with a sliver of happiness.
Deep down I am afraid of asking for more, afraid of being free enough to be truly happy.
I feel like society is not concerned about happiness. It is concerned with how we should behave. Perhaps that is what I am concerned with too?
I guess, the truth in that text is that what we need is within us all along.
Some good news since I have been on this path, I am noticing a decrease in habitual suicidal ideation.
