Thoughts
Today I am weary from the world. Overwhelmed by the energy of the universe and how things seem to go go go whether or not you're moving. The realization that the world would be a very similar place without me in it is not exactly an uplifting one. People are hard, cold, selfish. What's that song? Come on, people now, smile on your brother! Everybody get together, try to love one another right now ...
What if there was truly more love in the world? I mean the kind you just give to someone because it feels good. Not the fake kind that you give someone because you want to make something inside of your insecure self bigger by giving it. People are not by default kind, and giving, and happy. I think that deep down people are naturally selfish, and hard, and if you have people around you smiling it is only because you were in the right place at the right time. Your being in their presence does something for them, it fulfills some need that they have. But I wonder if anyone stops to really think about someone else's needs.
Today I feel like the world is mean. It's cold. Hard. Fast-moving. Shallow. Brutal. There is good but for some reason it is so overwhelmed by the bad.
Are things supposed to be this way? I believe in the idea of a diety larger and more powerful than us, and if you believe that way then you must believe that things are exactly as they are supposed to be in this moment. Right? This is what God or Spirit or whomever decided for things to be. Everything is in its place.
It makes me want to cry. Why are we so mean and so hard to each other? Why not love as the default, not sarcasm, or ridicule, or judgment, or measuring-up, or ego? This world is a strange place and sometimes, like today, I would like a break from it all to refuel. Sometimes it's hard to know how to take that break though.
