Here's a story we tell sometimes. I certainly have at points. It's the story of comparing pain.
You've been hurt by others, we all have.
You've also been the one to hurt others, we have all hurt somebody intentionally or not at some point in time.
Have you ever decided in your head that the pain you've caused others was far less than the pain you've felt yourself?
Stay out of the extremes of the human experience when you do this please. We're talking day to day life here.
How did you decide that? How do you know the other person didn't feel much pain?
This type of thinking is the ego defending your actions for you. It's the ego giving you a scenario that makes it okay to lash out at other people and project your pain.
One of the reasons we work on making the ego accountable for its actions, as I talked about in a post yesterday, is this type of story we tell ourselves. This story is not true.
These are the things we need to catch ourselves in. This is why it's so important to pay attention to your thinking. If you're not and you miss this, you're prone to lashing out all over the place and then defending it.
These are the types of stories I can help you work through.
I have a new program out on Voxer called The Path to Self-Awareness, plus the Conscious Clarity Community, Mastering the Illusion, and Private Coaching. Message me for info on any of them!
Love to all.
