I feel I have tried for too long to make sense of things that my mind has gotten into this habit of self analysis of every action or situation be it self or other. What do you say?
Isn't that the truth! I find that I am analyzing and sorting almost all the time, and sometimes not in a useful way.
Example: I arrive in the UK and call my wife to let her know when I will be catching the train from Oxford. Then I see that I haven't changed my watch from ECT so I am an hour off. This I of course blame on my depression and other issues until my wife points out that this same error is probably made by thousands of people every single day!
I guess it's back to the point that we need to go easier on ourselves.
Yes Larry 'take it easy' is sometimes the best policy we can have. and not blaming everything on our past, sometimes things just happen as they happen to normal people, I so agree with this. And this constant attempt to fix our life undermines the essential goodness of our life as it is.
Sometimes I wonder that there is so much goodness and the beauty that surrounds me, that I am amazed, and I wonder wouldnt it be better if we start focussing on the present light in our life more and more so that only that increases and not the darkness, which any way would go away as we allow more and more love and its light in our life.
There are so many examples of that all around us, and we had an interesting case on the members' side recently. I posted an amusing photo complaining about winter, a season I don't like very much, and Ste and others responded with some photos showing that despite its inconveniences, winter is actually a beautiful time of year.
I guess the point would be it's there if we look for it.
