People have their own internal struggles and battles they fight but I had a strange thought come to me the same way seers hear things, priests are told, and crazy prophets ask for answers. What if that battle is a distraction? So many people spend their lives in a battle… for what? If you want to find peace and happiness then make it. The clear way to resolution is not hit back but kiss and sing and smile and comfort. Its not a fight if you don’t join in and nobody wants to be a bully over being in a parade or being a friend, lover, muscician, dancer or so many other things. It sounds strong but only the scared and defensive want to be strong. Those who don’t worry or fear don’t look for strength. They look for fun and depth and meaning.
If a person is hurting us so badly, then why fight? Must we change them? Is the fight really worth this much of our time? Is any battle or destructive action ever really the complete point of our emotional allowance and expenditures? Examine that and no, I find. One of the most wonderful facts of life is taht you can decide how to feel. During the most hurtful and destructive and terrible moments you can step out of it, see yourself as yourself and your emotions as separate from this one event and create the feeling and reasons for why to be. You don’t have to be a reactive being but can be a creative being.
So many lives are about weakness. They want to overcome their own weakness. They never want to be beaten again so they work on strengthening themselves, even if it was an odd moment or a reoccurring imperfection. They fear that weakness and do everything about it except fix it but with passion for how much it upsets them. Once we accept our weaknesses, only then can we be strong. Whether it be strong on that topic or strong with that limp on the last chapter. It is not important but it is real to be a whole person, not a reaction to one weakness.
Be a whole person, not a small weakness or just one battle. Its ok to lose but crying about it forever is just stupid and far sighted.
