It’s a cloudy Sunday morning and I’m sitting here at my desk looking over a story I wrote a few days ago. It’s one of my gripe pieces where I do a little venting about whatever. But after reading over the story I decided that it sounded like something the people I was writing about would actually say… gripe, gripe, gripe. So I decided to can that project and instead focus on truth. Truth that “righteous anger” is one thing, but outright insults and one-upmanship are another. As I focus on my mindfulness journey I find myself being sad for those that are so determined and arrogant to prove others wrong. That all the world is black and while with no room for compassion or empathy.
My outward appearance is that of a hardened, stubborn, asshole. And while I take no pride in that fact, I accept my limitations. That’s why I choose to limit my social commentary to written words and not video post. Considering my dyslexia, I have to be careful when choosing my words. This allows me to post mindfully and not to ramble on just to prove I’m right. Now that doesn’t mean I’m not susceptible to fits of rage, just ask my family. But I am a little careful when addressing the general public.
Reading over the first two paragraphs I suppose my objective for all this jabbering is, choose your words wisely. But also to take a moment to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Listen I’m far from perfect in fact I’m probably one of the worse of the worse when it comes to PC. And while many may say I have no excuse, especially when expounding the nobleness of being mindful. But at least I’m pumped my head full of the right thing, as apposed to the other. So forgive me of my shortcomings as I do my best to forgive yours. Life is more than just proving we are right. It is about the compassion we express towards one another and the empathy we feel about each other’s situations.
