When we meet people whose mannerisms or energy touches us deeply inside,* what we realize and perhaps for the 1st time, is that what we’ve been missing for so long, that empty feeling inside, isn’t necessarily something lacking within us. That people play an extraordinarily large part in our feeling of wholeness, of completeness. That, maybe what is lacking in so many of the people we encounter is a vital necessity to our own being/our own lives! And you see, this is where alot of people, many in the fields of counseling and psychiatry GET IT ALL WRONG -many of which preach independence, self-reliance, self-servitude [I had to look up that word and it turns out it was precisely what what I was looking for even though I had only a partial understanding until I saw the definition of “servitude”; but I was thinking “self-servitude” (as opposed to “self-serving” though that in a way, in a pure sense, works too) prior to looking up the word -hmm, how interesting 🤔], acceptance of the unacceptable!
When you have a broken arm, when you are experiencing a heart attack, do you run to your neighbor to care for you? No, you go to the person best suited to care for you. With regard to our emotional and spiritual woes, why do we continually run to people -why not God who knows all, sees all, and can do all? All my life I’ve ran to people who could do nothing -or cared not. 😔
Most people either know nothing or care little for preventive maintenance – Many of us deal with our vehicles when something goes wrong, just as we do our own bodies.
*I’M SPEAKING OF HUMBLE, WARM-HEARTED PEOPLE OF WHICH IMHO WE COULD USE MORE OF IN THIS COUNTRY.
