How I see the world is a product of my experiences, so there is undeniable worth in my own accumulation of perspectives. But I restrict myself when I become so attached to my one way of seeing things. The power of listening to multiple views comes from the flexibility of mind it affords. It frees me from the unconscious hold of unexamined views….& much of my sense of self is derived from an amalgamation of such views. Whether it’s listening to a person or otherwise, if I listen long enough it creates an opening. If I can embrace the unknown…while being firmly rooted in developing wisdom through my own experience…I am freeing myself from the prison of limited identity….Viral Mehta
no identity crises please….feel joy in the quirky roots & knotted tendrils of your contradictions, changes, projections, ordinariness, & unchecked stagnations….
move in to common experience by recognizing your shadow in others….your passions held in unlikely sources….& your understanding simply not always noted….in a sometimes caustic, hyper-individual-focused society, it is so kind to listen to one another…
Our fault is not moral, it is original insfficiency. Sin is the littleness of being….Bruce McEver
I promise…I’ll change….
