OTHERSIDE OF THE COIN: fulfilling promises
the esoterics of ladytao: fulfilling promises
it has been brought to my attention that even though my thoughts may be so;
"Eventually we will find (mostly in retrospect, of course) that we can be very grateful to those people who have made life most difficult for us.-" (true, true)
Ayya Khema, "When the Iron Eagle Flies"
we must also give gratitude to those who bring us such grief, because they make us angry which forces us to confront a part of ourselves that we rarely like to admit is there.
ultimately we ask ourselves what brought about this burst of frustration?
so once again the lesson begins and we seek out in ourselves,where it all began so that we may better understand ourselves.
thank you for teaching me not to hate you
thank you for teaching me to tame my anger
thank you for teaching me i do love you
thank you for teaching me to be a better student

:) warm fuzzies extended to my favorite person!
True, these lessons have been learned and I do thank the person's responsible, but at the same time when a harsh and cruel lesson has been learned the bridge is burned and its better left that way. On the other hand if its a small lesson you have learned, you know how to not repeat the same lesson with the "teacher".
