Lots of things are becoming polarized these days. On “sides.” And it’s hard not to get pulled into it…
We all want the same things. To feel safe, secure, loved, part of a community.
But if get on a “team” just to feel right, a sense of (false) safety, or to not feel confused- these lead to separation, and detachment. Detachment of what’s amazing and “good” in this life.
We all deserve safety and to get our needs met. To heal and have some joy.
But things aren’t as simple as right and wrong- good and bad- left and right- black and white. We miss all the beauty in the middle.
All people do what they do for a reason. And it’s either motivated by fear or trust.
There is no one “enemy.” Wouldn’t it be great if there were?? We could just annihilate it and be safe again.
If “this leader,” if “this side,” if “these people” would or wouldn’t do this- then everything would be okay. That would be amazing. And simple. But never- since the beginning of time- has that happened. And it won’t. Because we are all these things- and “they” or “it” are not in control of us. Not fully…not really.
Yep- things are crazy and hard right now. We are all here to learn amazing things. The hard shit, the beautiful shit- but mostly the “in-between” shit.
Be careful who you call your enemy. Who or what you think is right or wrong. Because…we, and all of it, are all a little bit of both.
May we all explore more of the grey…🌪🌫🪨🤍
