When we attempt to predict the thoughts of another person, we not only fabricate a story, but create a pseudo experience from which we base our attitudes and emotions upon subsequent interactions. How much more evolved we could be, if we did not fall prey to our own inadequacies and sought direct communication instead. It is the truth that human nature requires not only the same basis of love and acceptance but also reacts with equal protective shields. Not many can be the first to allow for the openness necessary to recognize these commonalities and then speak in the peace necessary to offer a chance for intimate connection.
No matter how many masks or attempts are made to bypass it, the avoidance of truth does not change its reality. Fear of such speaks more of a lack of positive self-perception and a desire to control outcome due to personal insecurity and pain. It is up to each of us, individually, to allow truth an opportunity to speak. And if negative emotion is our first response, then we must identify why we feel threatened before we can embrace a pure desire to give and to receive unfettered communication.
The beauty in finding wholeness of Self is that we understand the boundaries of personal responsibility, have forgiven ourselves for our shortcomings, and seek integrity over perfection. It is a simplicity that is as freeing as it is significant. It allows for the courage to claim ownership, dismiss the tempting fodders of grievance and releases others to experience their own processes. Tilling ground and planting seeds...
