I want to start this post by telling You something. Within You, there is Love, and all though You might have discovered this, by Loving someone else, do know, that this Love is also meant for You. Love Yorself a little. Because Life is tough, and all we can ever do sometimes, is try to do better, or just try, or even, just exist. But do You want to know something else? If You are able to stretch this Love, that You have found for Yourself further, to all of it, to all of existence, that is bliss. I can help You a little, to get there if You want me to. Try to think about every single being out there, as on their own Journey. They might be having troubles, they might be having bliss, they might be having a lot of shit to deal with. And everyone acts different in accordance to their own experiences. And if someone is being difficult for You, however that might look, and I will give an example further down after, but having a difficult time, might make You a difficult person. But if You manage to have Love in Your Heart, for even the most difficult ones in Your Life, You can see them as they are, a being on a Journey of themselves. Maybe with heavier troubles, than You could see at first. Putting oneself in others shoes, can definetelly enable You to see their hardships. Life is not easy, and everyone has their stuff to deal with. And everyone copes differently.
To get to my example: As a teenager, I knew this girl. She was everyones dream. She was extremely beautiful, and everyone wanted her. And I was so jealous. It made me hate her in fact. But I did not see her as the person she was, or the struggles she probably had with all of this attention. But I do now understand in fact. Not by comparison, or by having the same experience, but by being able to put myself in her shoes. Just imagining myself in the same situation. And how I would have felt. I was the difficult person here. And by me not aprreciating my own looks, accepting myself as I were in my appearances, it gave me alot of bad feelings about myself, wanting to be prettier, the prettiest in fact, and it made me a worse person than what I could have been. And I am definetelly not proud of it, but I do accept that, that is how I was for a time being. And I have changed from it. I am not like that anymore.
Realizing, that hard emotions, can be hard to deal with, enables me to Understand just about anyone. I does not mean I agree with everything, or want difficult times in my Life, but it does bring me some Peace, and Bliss in fact, just to have Love for everyone. To Understand, and to have Love for everyone.
Life is a Journey, and we go through alot in it. And we have to deal with all of that, that we have to deal with in it. Knowing this, makes me having Understanding for the hardships others might have.
I do want to add, that Alan Watts is talking about, basically what I have been writing about here alot. So do search him up, if You are interested in more like this.
With Unconditional Love and Gratitude
