So True!
From Ta-tsu-wa's post:
"Give it a try. You certainly have little to lose unless you value feeling miserable and negative about people. In which case, just stick with your current paradigm of living in a world filled with bad people because so far its returned everything to you exactly as you've requested it."
*************
This is so true. I have to work hard to see people for who they really are because of the expectations I have of others and myself. Our perception of the other people around us gets tainted with judgement, resentment and frustration. Our bad day turns them into 'toads'. They may be a wonderful prince or princess, but for that day, in my mind, they are toads because I'm looking for toads and any slight show of being 'human' on their part will do for a reason to toad tag.
My drama, not theirs. I've learned that no one needs to live up to my expectations of them good or bad. I need to accept them as they are at that time and that they are exactly the where they are supposed to be.
