What is wrong with people???
So, recently I had a woman accuse me of being this person that I am not. It was amusing in ways because it was so far fetched that it could be taken as nothing short of a joke. And luckily I have decent self esteem and a bunch of people I trust that felt that this email was absurd and ridiculous too.
It is amazing how human nature works in people. Working in my job I see it everyday with people working towards recovery. But it is not just with them and with everyone. We as people hate others who have what we want or don't have. Why is that?
If someone else has more clean time then they are disliked by others who have less. If someone has completed college or massage school or whatever then there will be those who dislike them because they have achieved something that the other person has not. If someone has worked hard at achieving a career, spiritual foundation, becoming a better person, a good mother, whatever.................. there will be someone.........................you get the point.
And we wonder why groups and covens have such a track record of failing in the first 2 years? Instead of people hating others because they are something you want or have something that you don't, be inspired by it. Get information and hope from it. Grow from your feelings of inadequency and don't take it out on the world. It is these things that can help someone decide what they want in thier life and who they want to be.
Otherwise you will remain stuck in a life that is unhappy and unfullfilled. You will always be judging others by the standards that you don't feel you can live up too. It is not about anyone and all about you. What do you want in your life? You won't find it by trying to make everyone else wrong. Some act like crabs in a barrel, pulling eachother down to get to the top.
Don't hate someone because they have accomplished things or are what you are not.
If you look hard enough you will find the answers you need. If you don't.................... well, you make the choice.
