Human Nature. Our own worst enemy
Please forgive the rambling..Might as well be here.
"What Part of Us Needs To Be Fixed" Just saw this on a thread.
A question that all humans will ask until they die. We are HUMAN. In the final analysis we are all tempted by desire and the heart. Our brains can scream the right path, and yet the emotional part of our brains, the more primitive aspects of our nature continue to take over despite fact. Despite almost certain failure. Our nature is always hopeful.
THAT in and of itself is a FABULOUS quality. Human, natural and hopeful. We are destined to hurt ourselves in search of the heart's desire over and over.
Even if we learn this time around, we most certainly will fall again in another place with another person. This is our nature.
This should be celebrated?? I don't know. Should it be admonished??? I don't know.
The only thing I know is that change is certain. Whether it is the person sitting next to us or the place we are sitting. Everything will change and our opportunities to grow less connected, less attached and more appreciative will continue to hit us in the face like a brick wall until we get it.
Or until we die.
Either way, we do have an opportunity to appreciate what our life is at this moment. Why can't we do it???
Our inability to let go, shows us how young we really are in this universe. We are missing something very big and very important while we vent away on this site and worry and hope and complain.
I know this and yet, like all of you, I'm still here.
I wish for us all, a life free from the chains we drag around because we cannot fathom a life without burden.
