Dear Brav3:

What I see everywhere I look is people seeing what they want or need to see and not what is. The Buddhist principle of being awake and aware is to look at reality for what it is, the bare minimum of what is, without distorted perceptions, assumptions, wishful thinking, emotional reasoning etc. When Buddha was asked: “Are you god?” the story goes, he said: “no, I am awake”- I think those were the words. i don’t believe in god, in justice- evidence of injustice is everywhere, including in your story, in your heartbreak! All we can do as humans, is see What Is, be awake and aware. Learn to be awake and aware.

Please post again and I do hope the pain will lessen, awareness will increase and over time… well, over time.
