I know 'Change' has been the buzz word of the Month ... but stumbled upon this and thought I would share ~

quote:

Whenever there is a change, any sort of change, things will come into focus more clearly. When change disturbs you, all your inner disturbances are stirred. You are both feeling disturbed and both trying to throw the responsibility on the other. Just try to see it inside yourself. The other is never responsible. Remember that as a mantra: THE OTHER IS NEVER RESPONSIBLE. Just watch it ... just watch it. If you become wise in the moment, there will be no problem. This is wisdom that you get later on. Everybody becomes wise when the moment is gone. Retrospective wisdom is worthless. When you are picking on something, at that very moment become aware, and let awareness function. Immediately you will drop it.

But when you have done everything and fought and nagged and bitched and then you become wise and see that there was no point in it, it is too late. It is meaningless – you have done the harm. This wisdom is just pseudo-wisdom. It gives you a feeling as if you have understood. That is a trick of the ego. This wisdom is not going to help. When you were doing the thing, at that very moment, simultaneously, the awareness should arise, and you should see that it is useless.


If you can see it when it is there, then you cannot do it. One can never go against oneʼs awareness, and if one goes against it, that awareness is not awareness. Something else is being mistaken for it. So remember, the other is never responsible for anything. It is something boiling within you.


quote:

A wise person moves through his unhappiness alone, and whenever he is happy, comes and shares it with people. A fool shares his unhappiness with people, and when he is happy he sits alone.

Maybe I am still too sleepy to reply,
but here goes.
quote:

Hmmmmmmm...
I have always shared my happiness!
However, to me this sounds like by my posting about the unhappiness in my life, posting about it here at LL.......(suicidal things/childhood abuse etc)
that posting it was wrong?
Makes me a fool?
Bad LEXX! Unwise foolish LEXX!
Posting your woes here!
Soooooooooooo
I was supposed to hold it all in as I had done most of my life?
Move through it alone?
quote:
A fool shares his unhappiness with people, and when he is happy he sits alone.
I share my happiness too! I love spreading happiness around!
And it took a lot for me to reach out, and say, "I need help",
and post about the unhappy things going on in my life.
It just seems that I am in essence being called a fool.
Should have kept my woes inside and never told anyone.
Or am I reading this wrong?
??????????????????????????????

Lexx!! I interpret it slightly differently and I will reply to you tomorrow Lexx (At least how I interpret it)

I think the key word is "shared" and what is meant by that word.

No no, you are far from a fool Lexx.

Thank you!{{{hugs}}}
Yes, would love your take on it!
The first part you quoted made sense though.
It was that bit I quoted which confuses me somewhat.
So much has happened in my world.
So many things to wrap up.
I'm just feeling kinda overwhelmed.
I am beyond ready to walk my new path in life!
However so much old path stuff to clear out and all, legalities and more.
Fortunately I have patience!
I'm walking my new path now and will run on it later!
It is a good path, a fine new road!
Gotta clear away the fallen trees and wreckage off the road first that fell on it in the storms of change.

No, it is not wrong to pour your heart out on a forum when one feels down because at times like these, a word can save us.

The 'sharing' refers to dumping your sorrows on others and making them feel miserable and pointing fingers at everyone for being responsible for how one feels.

You, my friend, are adjudged not guilty

From the darkness, lead me to light,
From death and destruction, lead me to immortality.
Peace. Peace. Peace.
