20080508-Having Not
They kick and scream, crying about how they ‘have-not’ enough money to sustain their comfortable lifestyle. Their hearts are generous and they have all the time in the world to help others and never run out of things to do in spite of their old age.
They play nice and smile, happy about how they ‘have-not’ enough money to spend unwisely on themselves. There are young at heart and they are too busy and tired to care for others beyond the call of duty or work.
Both sides are manipulators to my purpose. I will not be swayed by other sides. They do nothing to serve me or our trust. My interest in them is not approved. My energy invested in them is wasted.
My time too is wasted thinking about the old timers and the twosome, both of whom are now testing my resolve. I have already made up my mind long ago about those who ‘have not’ money - one with fixed income and one living by each check, respectively.
I am carefully weighing my options about what to do with these people in my life and observing how these foolish ones continue to barrage me with their short-comings. I fail to understand how they don’t see this, my burden of living up to my soul’s purpose to help.
Now I see how the ‘have-nots’ complain, turning blue in the face or pale in color whatever the stories happen to come out of their blow holes, through my hard of hearing set of ears and into my big brain of neutrality.
These ‘have-nots’ will never know true happiness until they remove the denial to ‘have’ what everyone wants - inner peace. Their only path to destruction is their distractions in life - family, food, friends, sex, and of course money.
The worst is fear. The fear is to loose these distractions in life. And without these distractions, jealously forms and of course the hatred for not being able to sustain that which makes inner peace almost next to impossible.
So what am I to do? Nothing, yeah that’s it! But then again ‘have-not’ yet decided. Perhaps, I should learn to take care of myself first and take everything else from there until the ends of time.
