Before you wander out into the
world today or tomorrow consider this; a
lot of people you come across, whether you engage them or not, see
themselves as the center of the universe and judge everything as it relates to
that. In their world, you and me and
everyone else are essentially decorations to their existence, back up actors
and bit players on their stage of life.
A lot of people……..to be clear I
used the words a lot of people, not
all people…… see themselves as the center of the universe and work on the assumption
that all of their actions will cause other
people to think about them. For these folks, all things emanate from them and people are allowed into
their world, their solitary island of self, only when it is convenient and
useful.
So the question is, if a lot of people are behaving this way
shouldn’t you do the same? Shouldn’t you behave that way as well? Isn’t that
the best way to protect yourself?
The answer is no. Just because other
are brain dead doesn’t mean you have to join them. Be aware of this way of this
way of thinking but avoid thinking that way.
The stuff of life isn’t about convenience nor are we intended to roam
through our lives on a solitary island because there is no happiness in that. We
should create our own happiness and a large part of that happiness should be brought
to us by others. People, with all of their failing and annoyances, are not decorations
sent down from above to make us feel better about ourselves. They are sent to
us as gift to increase our happiness. Share your island. Be happy.
