The world is on fire and everybody has an agenda. It can seem like the scale of joyous experiences vs painful ones has been knocked off balance for much of the world.
In times like these, it’s important to remind yourself that perspective truly is everything. It’s the single most essential thing - and the ONLY thing - you have any real control of.
It’s a thin line to walk on, that of a regular, everyday person. The harsh realities of the world are in your face on every screen, in 24/7 repetition, and yet most of what you witness has no direct immediate impact on your daily life. If you ignore it, you’re heartless and lack compassion. If you throw yourself into, your life is suddenly no longer your own, your pain suddenly isn’t tragic enough to matter compared with what those on the other side of the world are facing.
I’m here to remind you that this is your life. Do you really care or are you pretending to care out of fear of shame? Are you truly unaffected or are you pretending not to be disgusted as you splurge someone else’s rent costs on the very device that only exists because of children in actual slavery? Figure out your perspective, what it stems from and whether or not it matches your inner feelings and morals.
Authenticity is the key. You will never be liked by all, so at least be liked for the real you.
