RE: Searching for Authentic Compassion
For me learning about myself leads to more self control. My revelation came to me one day many years ago. I was in high school and couldn't speak the truth even if the truth would get me what I want. It caused so many problems. Anyway I realized that I didn't know myself well enough to even know what I wanted or even what life was about. One day I realized that all the human failings I thought I was immune to were what was preventing me from having self control. That realization that I wasn't immune allowed me to begin seeing my inner being. Each of us are on a path and it is a path of our own making. Once we realize that our actions are also are responsibility we become free from the lie's we tell ourselves and we cannot be made a slave again.
The first quote that popped into my head as I was reading your very clear, insightful and inspiring response! "The individual has to struggle to keep being overwhelmed by the tribe. No price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. " ~ (Friedrich Nietzsche)
One of the best sentences I've read all day! ~
'Once we realize that our actions are also are responsibility we become free from the lie's we tell ourselves and we cannot be made a slave again.' Definitely following you and look forward to more like this! Thanks so much for taking the time to read and respond! Hey, since this lovely system has no DM, I think we are 4 hours a part physically. ;-) Checked out your website. Guessing you're not popular with the censors! LOL! Do u have a Twitter?
I made the decision to follow you because doing so is in my vested interest. It is always in a persons vested interest to follow those whom truth has become paramount. In fact each of us finds the truth from within and it is easy to see when this is so for others. The struggle is always the best clue and always leads to self education. A necessity if one is to be free. I do not have a twitter account just so you know.
