Very thoughtfully written @taraz! I don't know how old you are but your insights are very "evolved", mature and honest. I hear you talking about being able to see ourselves, each other as honestly as we can at any given moment! The need to have things other than how they are can lock us into a vicious cycle of unfulfilled expectations and wants! I just started following you and this is your second post I have read! I am liking a lot!
Thank you for being so open in your sharing "insides"! About to Upvote (still less than dust - hehe) and Resteem
I am old.
I was just talking to someone about this.
So was I ... "just talking to someone about this"! It was a very real and useful discussion! We were talking about how we need to be careful of the language we use when we talk to ourselves. The "needs", are especially tricky! I NEED this and that to be happy, fulfilled, content. What's tricky about that is if we say that is what we NEED, we are absolutely right and until that "thing" is acquired, we will live in the clawing, needy world of dissatisfaction.
We said a lot more. Your article was timely! I enjoyed it, because it made sense! Like I mentioned, I heard a voice of maturity!
You were not talking about a theory, or a speculation. You KNOW of what you speak! ...btw, I am old too! Thanks again for your honest share, @tarazkp
