imperfection and the world…

I often ponder why there is so much suffering in the world.

But when you think about it, without us humans, the world could be considered a perfect place.

It is us humans who criticize each other for our imperfections. It is us humans who are unhappy with how we perceive the world and must change it, the people, and things to suit our needs.

But, I think without us, the world would be perfectly happy without us. The world would be just what it is.

I don’t mean to put down us humans overall, because in general I do believe that we generally have a positive disposition, and we basically want the world to be a wonderful place in which to live.

Realistically, however, people suffer and aren’t happy. They tend to blame others and forces outside of themselves.

From situations where the boss is yelling at you, or a driver is honking at you for making a lane change… to arguments between friends or family… to losing your job. The world could be considered imperfect through our eyes.

At the same time, our world could be considered perfect as is. That there are always opposite forces pull and contracting and repelling one another. There does seem to be a natural law of opposites either attracting or same things repelling.

Either way, we humans tend to experience suffering at the hands of such natural forces of nature.

I think, that, my attitude is changing over the years. I can take things nowadays for what it is, at face value. I am less affected by what others think of me or how they treat me.

It’s important to have an inner guide that helps you walk through the muck and rise above the quicksands of life. An internal and eternal compass that keeps one steady throughout the inevitable changes of one’s life….

Keep a path with a heart. And be true to yourself.
