Amazing how much one can change in 4 months.
Amazing how much the world can change.
Amazing how everything changes, all the time.
Acknowledge it, embrace it, accept it, love it.
Keep in mind that what you perceive is only what you perceive.
There are endless amounts of different perceptions on any subject, and whichever one you choose, is exactly that - your choice.
Do not get observation and prejudice confused - one might believe that they are an excellent observer, when in reality they have just mastered judgment. Judgment on others.
There is a difference between selfishness and doing things for yourself. When you can understand the difference, integrity will have a new meaning.
What does this define? - The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness - When you can understand the difference (and similarity) of this and the processes of change, you will have a whole new understanding - on everything.
What you see in other people that you don't like or agree with is just a reflection of something inside yourself that you cannot see yet, let alone accept.
Which then concludes as to why you cannot judge other people's actions and choices based on your perception.
One must have a certain level of understanding toward everything, and if they don't, then it's exactly that - a misunderstanding, and a person who's always misunderstood.
Spiritual enlightenment means something different to every different person - and the ways to get there always differ as well. But ultimately, we're all getting to the same place. There is no time or space, so the time it takes to get there has no meaning - in other words, it doesn't matter how long it takes to get there, or how you do it.
No one can stop someone else from experiencing something that they are meant to experience, and when people believe that they have the power to do that, they are just halting their own experience.
Understandable? Not yet? Just wait.
Life:
Acknowledge it, embrace it, accept it, love it.
Ask questions, but ultimately, acceptance is the end.
Love is the beginning.
