Emotions are a weight
we can’t drop
becoming heavier and heavier.
We don’t need to forgive
who really does that?
we just need to drop it.
It’s strange that we become what we hate
our attitudes, our behaviors, our ways of thinking
mirror what we despise.
Fighting for peace
is funny
a person is trying to become better than another
to have power,
but their actions
sap their strength.
When we argue
our identities are attacked
it’s what we hold onto
our religion
our politics
our expertise
our weight
like the heaviness of gold
we think it has value
but being lighter than air
is freedom.
A “spiritual person” becomes angry
when their identity is challenged
their spirituality is their ego
their knowledge is their sense of self.
We have buttons
because we hold onto things
terrified of who we are
without them.
If we sense emotion
we feel the energetic tension
It’s a wave
that might click off
like a lightbulb
if we flipped the switch
and dropped the weight.
So, find out who you are in the dark
and know that one who has value
recognizes it in others.

I don’t comment often, but this is such profound insight into human nature. It is such a universal struggle for us to figure out who we are, and not just what we are based on the ideals or viewpoints we grab onto. Some cling to who they used to be, or to traditions or rituals, even when they no longer serve them, because they are frightened of losing that part of their identity.
We are what we feel, and what we think, and how we act, and how we respond, and what we believe. We are both steady and shifting throughout our lives. We are both inherently good and bad, and capable of acting on either. And our value is priceless. Our individual worth is so vast. You are so right – one must understand and accept his or her own precious worth in order to see and accept it in another. ❤️
