Pain for thought
I wonder if writing this has brought any reflection, any feedback to integrate with the objective to serve regeneration and connection. I have yet to find an optimal way to address current and future challenges while not falling into recurring caveats. As the road to hell is paved with good intentions…
Because being exemplary, trying at least, doing our best (which is maybe better than exemplarity, as it can be self-oppressing), having an impeccable word, not making assumptions, not taking things personally…
Answering with creativity, beyond offered choices. Trying to create “magic” requires a receptive audience [Outside], and awareness of useless patterns [Inside] that need to be avoided and remapped. How to feel joy and sustain this process? How to actually learn and Relearn?
If it is not true/verified
If it doesn’t contribute to our purpose
If it is hurtful
Then where did common decency go? What about professionalism? ethics?
Why is “Taking sides” the current dynamic? What does it actually serve? What are the best practices for setting boundaries?
Making choices for the long term, embracing pain where it is necessary instead of carrying a smaller version of it over time.
Maybe that’s one key: which pain are we trying to avoid, does it serve to avoid it?
I had a dislocated shoulder that required a painful process…
I fast Ramadan every year, it offers reconnection to the pain of hunger and thirst.
But I avoid several pains that bear a higher cumulative burden.
My silences for the sake of harmony or out of lack of energy. The distractions I use (Games, books) to keep thoughts from filling the dark void of my mind.
