The world is unfair, this is not news to me and yet every time injustice makes it self known to me, I can’t help but feel outraged. Angered, by how the world is the way it is. How injustice seems to be making its way through the fabric of our society. Where did it come from and how do we get rid of it? Perhaps we can’t, a reality that is too hard for me to accept.
The world we live in doesn’t feel right to me, exhausted by the rat race that we’ve created and bored with the superficial values that is being promoted constantly. The cruelty, materialism, greed and superficial nature is feeling like it is going to suffocate me. I wish there was a place I could run to, where life was simple and the priorities hadn’t been distorted by technology. Where the focus is community, connection and healing. A place where there is high vibrations because everyone is freeing their hearts from the pain that doesn’t belong there.
I’m tired of the life that we are leading in the cities, chasing the pace, chasing the stress, trying to be a version of ourselves that is respected and valued by others but disconnected from ourselves. If you’re feeling hollow within yourself, no amount of success, wealth or status will ever make you feel whole. So where does that leave us? Are we filling ourselves up with wholesome thoughts, beliefs and experiences or are we feeding the insecurities of our ego, the distractions of our senses and the desire to be liked by everyone around us?
In moments like this, when the world feels overwhelming I try to remind myself that what I am seeing is not reflective of the vast majority, that goodness is all around even if it’s playing hide and seek. That most of us care, most of us love, most of us want better. Most of us are not driven by the material greed that is consumerism. Many of us crave connection and are seeking a community that is reflective of this.
Sometimes we need to put more effort towards seeing the good and feeling it within our core. Sometimes we have to let go of the disappointments and allow ourselves to relax into what is. I’m not sure what the answer is, but I know it doesn’t involve dwelling in what isn’t. The cup is half full, if we can get ourselves to notice it.
Love Always,
