Self-importance can't be fought with niceties.....Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it--what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellow men. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone.....Self-importance is not something simple and naive. On the one hand, it is the core of everything that is good in us, and on the other hand, the core of everything that is rotten. To get rid of the self-importance that is rotten requires a masterpiece of strategy.--Don Juan
If everyone has their own path and struggles, demons, and sicknesses; then not everything actually happens to (or because of) us. Sometimes we just get someone else's destiny splashed on us.
There are almost 7 billion of us trying to work our shit out or operating on some fucked up autopilot.
Bad things happen and we all get hurt. Some of us a lot. There is no denying that but maybe we could save a little therapy money if we didn't insist on taking everything so personally.
