According to me, the bane of our existence is our self-inflicted wounds...specifically, those that we put someone else's name-to-blame on. It takes a lot of still more spiritual growth (a.k.a., ego reduction in depth) to crack the protective shell around that bad habit.
Accepting it as just a bad habit is hard for our egoic mind to grasp..."want-to" comes up short when ego enters the picture. Yet when doesn't ego enter in?
Fact is, the minute we respond in kind and natter about the hurt...or, most often, natter about the originator of our hurt, we have a self-inflicted wound.
The good news is...and I state from experience...few things feel better than realizing our own responsibility for our hurt.
We need to be aware that we must never "accept responsibility" before we realize it really is our responsibility. "Accepting too soon" is just another self-determined objective aiming to cut short the pain...uh-oh, resentment aborning.
Comes the dawning...God is love and laughter, the Healer, the Comforter...All.
Thank you.
