Everyone has his own personal agenda and we cannot control the moral compass everyone was following even if one chooses to be kind, compassionate, reasonable or genuine. One does what he wants to do at the moment to soothe, to feel good, to control the situation, to feel entitled, to feel powerful by manipulation, to suck the energy from another being just because one has no capacity to self-soothe, to self regulate and getting validation from another is easier than harnessing own power within.
Everyone wants the short cut and only few took time to do the inner work to do the proper way of healing, self discovery and building good habits. Why? Because it is unquestionably lonely and the grueling pain associated with it takes a a lot of willpower, a well built heart and an endless self compassion.
Everyone is motivated by different factors that fabricated his character over time and chooses to justify every move without thinking about the consequences because maybe at one point, someone did the same thing to one another and revenge is much sweeter than acceptance of failure, rejection and abandonment.
Everyone wants permanence and certainty in this uncertain world but one does not realize that to develop the capacity to be at peace with uncertainty is true freedom. By knowing this, no one has to cheat but has to flow.
The interconnectedness of life continuously surround humans but only the divergents notice and break the cycle — those who choose to live freely in this plane, those who know nothing owns them, those who see every side of the coin, those who suffered much but were not defined by their suffering and maybe those who were never meant to settle.
Life is hard or life is easy — this depends on one’s perspective and maybe it is just how life goes, no cheat codes or short cuts but to live it as it is.
