Those you know who carry a destructive addiction, also carry with them a deep suffering within. A hurt sometimes so strong, that the world around seems as though it’s a gruesome prison; one they do not yet understand how to break free from. So, are you one who judges and criticizes them, or one who assists in bringing healing by expressing love within your capacity? Have you not ever suffered? Have you ever wanted to change so bad, but couldn’t? For the ones who judge and criticize, it is a way to mask their own internal pain.
Seriously. How much more productive would our relationships be, if the energy we sent out into the world was one of acceptance? Not just acceptance for those who you want something from, but acceptance for everyone, regardless of their role in your life. Can you see how these sort of thoughts in acceptance, can calm the storm in your world; by removing the judgments you have against what is, much of the pain/suffering you privately experience will diminish.
