One just has to be oneself. That's my basic message.
The moment you accept yourself as you are, all burdens, all mountainous burdens simply
disappear.
Then life is a sheer joy, a festival of lights.
'taken from bhagwan shree rajneesh from his book, the sound of one
hand clapping'
sometimes it is really difficult to just stand and look away isn't it? just to decide to simply walk away and let the world deal with the world on its own. and it makes you wonder why it seems so incredibly frustrating to want to take time off to simply be oneself. to have time alone to reflect.
yet time alone isn't the best solution sometimes. being solitary sometimes makes matters magnified and issues worse than they really are. being around people then seems a better decision. yet the burdens do not just melt away. do they?
Get a dog, they hurt less. Be content, it makes it easier when you aren't aiming that high. Learn how to laugh at oneself, it takes the edge of when others do.
now can you?
