Hi TMB, it’s sad and despairing isn’t it sometimes when we see the ugly in the world, but it is also part of it, part of coming to terms with reality. Eventually this will change for you, as you grow and learn more about yourself and others.
Self awareness arms us greatly.
It’s about keeping things, this and ourselves real. Learning to trust and respond to the self – always; so that when danger is close, we see it and step away or do whatever it is that is needed. Then we are free to be with the rest of our time and ‘life’ occurs again; despite the ugly in the world.
You can have a forfilling life once you have processed things and feel much stronger and wiser for it. DA shapes us, it’s dreadful for a long time, but eventually you will come out the otherside and see some silver linings. Work towards what you want, how you want your life to be, and chip a way. For me my goal is always contentment, another one is to deepen my compassion – so everything I do is a step towards either x
