I suspect in our early lives, we’re meant to designate aversions and dislikes, as points of reference that give us direction. Over time, I believe we’re meant to lessen our focus on what we find unpleasant and distasteful, lest we become defined by it, instead of informed by it.

That, I suspect, is the key to following a deeper, more knowledgeable part of ourselves, and relaxing into fulfillment and abidance.

    Hate to me is my *last leg*
    When the positive emotions can’t //>”finish the job” hate says, “I’m doing this for everyone who doubted me, including myself.”

    Perhaps the key to understanding oneself is to understand others better?

      for the name to check out, shouldn’t we ve closer to ‘if others canโ€™t be understood, then the self canโ€™t either, which is exactly the point.’

    This is such a profound perspective on growth and time. ๐Ÿง  The realization that ‘good turns bad, and bad turns good’ is so trueโ€”it teaches us to be more patient with life and tone down our immediate judgments.
    Your post made me think about a deeper human reality. Often, the people we initially perceive as ‘good’ and trust completely end up leaving us at a bad turn in life. On the flip side, those we judged or kept at a distance sometimes end up guiding us toward the right path. It takes a long time to understand this difference, and unfortunately, for about 90% of people, by the time they finally see it, the moment has already passed. The sooner we learn to observe how someone truly thinks rather than rushing to label them, the better we understand how to protect our energy and who really matters.
    Learning from what is unpleasant without getting consumed by it is truly the key to inner peace and maturity. Such a thoughtful reflection, Kent
