Forgive the World for Being Disappointing
We all fall from ideals...no matter what you might think.
Kill those ideas that we think are real & fanciful - we see more clearly without them.
We need to forgive the world that does not match our wants, our likes & dislikes and our delusions.
We must confess to ourselves again and again - we make mistakes. Perfection is a concocted dream. We all make mistakes.
We fail in big ways and small ways to live up to our human best. We stop or we are stopped! Sometimes we are on the run - this is when we fall. We accept the fall from our ideals and blame the world for the tumbles we take. Wanting it our way, hating if it doesn’t go our way and fabricating an imaginary bubble of acceptance.
We grumble. We find fault. We chew on old hurts. We harbor them.
When we appear to be agreeable, to be accepting of life, our life as it is, we fall into despair. We need a change in attitude and a clean-out of our thoughts.
Be grateful. Be appreciative. Be genuine. Be thankful.
Thankful for the Truth of seeing our unreal & fanciful concepts going off in our mind like popcorn.
It requires a humble, forgiving turn of our nature. Nature offers us a forgiving look into our conditions. Slip-ups are inevitable like aging, sickness & death. Everything is death bound in the material realm. When we realize this Truth the ideals drop away and we stop striving above our limits.
We accept we all fall from our ideals - when we know this to be true for ourselves, we can drop the ideals. This letting go is practice.
When we kill those ideas that we think are real & fanciful - all the mental forms that come from the past, the future or wishful thinking about the present - we see more clearly!
Don’t Give Up! Keep Going.
