CHANGE is the only constant and EVERYTHING (including each one of us) is changing every nano-second.....in more ways than we can fathom! But when we want to 'change' ourselves in order to fit-in/ please/ satisfy others (primarily seeking love/ acceptance/ positive strokes) it seems beneficial/ joyful in the short run. I should know....because I did all that and was happy doing it......BUT (that is a big but), when you keep going against your innate nature (to change in accordance with another's nature) you cannot 'sustain' that happiness in the long run......
When we want others to change for us (despite all my understandings, I see myself falling in this trap even now; supposedly wanting others to change for their own good), that only reeks of 'CONTROL' issue.......Who are we to know (and proclaim) what is RIGHT for another?
After all there aren't any absolute rights or wrongs.....ALL are mere perspectives....Why can't we honour our own perspectives (unless we ourselves choose to see differently) and also honour others' perspectives?
I am in that space right now...and the peace/ love/ joy in our family is beyond any parallel I have hitherto known...:)
Ironically, perspectives are always born out of individual experiences (the result thereof), while also being the cause of individual experiences.....The chicken and the egg story is not just relevant to the chicken and the egg but to every aspect of our entire life...:) Food for thought.............♥
