Embracing...

Sartre said: Hell is other poeple... (les outre)

The ego believes this phrase.
Hell is other people more often than not.
Even people who give you heaven, give you hell after sometime.
Our expectations can not be fullfilled.
So, what to do... as always ... we find out we can't rely on other people, so we are frustrated. Some people reach despair, thinking it's all so pointless. then you reach the state of sarcasm and bitterness and resentment. Life hasn't played its part. this deep belief of the world is preventing me from being myself, sets in. You believe Everyone is an obsticle to being myself.
Absurd. Absurd. Absurd.
Some will weep and wail until the very end. please let there be a different way.

the lesson: there is an undestructible part of us. no matter the mess we have made of our life. The undestructible part of us, is not touched by any of the mess. The original essence is there. It can be discovered. Some call it grace, the redeeming factor of life. some get there from suffering and some get there from teachings such as this one.
There is so much pain to come out first. I hope to not run out of time.

Inspired by "the Power of Now".
