In the presence of your loved ones
Published byI supposed if you're home with the companion of loved ones, you're considered lucky (even though for whatever reason you folks just isn't fond of each other.)
Just think of those who are A-L-O-N-E.
While of course, technology had made communication as easy as it can get; physical companionship is still indispensable. That is why new lives are still given birth with a body. Otherwise, females around the world will just be pushing out a ball of energy from their wombs. (hahaha- can you imagine that?) Probably a birth with less mess, but it is a little freaky isn't it? haha
Anyways, jokes aside- this is truly one of those times where:
The only way out is- in.
This saying probably doesn't sound that philosophical anymore because, for once, everyone is doing it. (You're doing it great!)
In, as in staying indoors, inside your home and if you're willing to take this notion a little deeper- into yourself, your psyche, that very gist of your beingness- commonly known as your Soul.
This is a time for deep introspection, in everything you do.
And how does that even relate to our relationship with others? Your family, your lover, your kids, your co-workers, the environment, the world, etc.
Do you see what they all have in common? They are ALL EXTERNAL and beyond your control, yet they are all a part of you.
SELF is the only entity each and every one of us has power over. EVER.
We have full control over our response to all externalities, but this can no doubt only come from a space of knowing yourself well enough.
By knowing ourselves well enough, we will eventually see the subtle link between ourselves and everyone & everything else.
How different are we? (Sincerely- ask yourself that question.)
I am just saying your LOVE is really capable of being bigger than you ever knew.
Every single improvement that happens in this world comes from a place of understanding, and that is true for any mechanical to flesh & blood relationships.
Relationships are all about the good old, golden rule of balance. One can't take too much or too little and one can't give too much or too little. It is not a matter of being equal but rather a matter of the level of comfort..... or I should say contentment.
And comfort and contentment as we know it- is highly subjective and individual. ( If it is the same for everyone, capitalism cannot exist. Food for thoughts)
If anyone side has to tolerate or compromise too much more than the other- it is a sign that there is a shift in balance.
Obviously, in the process of recalibration, we all ought to be more gentle. It is a delicate process.
Ultimately, the rule of thumb is to treat anyone else as you would want to be treated, in anything you do,
and that, my friends- will work wonders for all your relationships during or after the MCO.
Stay home, stay safe, stay understanding and give grace.
