We Only See
...what we’re shown.
You and I notice what we’re apt to notice from our experience, from our conditioning. Isn’t this too obvious? Like knowing you’re apt to catch what you set out to hunt, or will eventually arrive at the destination toward which you’ve always been heading? I’ve become attuned to pain and suffering because I was offered pain to acknowledge my suffering. Believe me when I tell you pain and suffering are everywhere: in the men vying for control, in the women struggling to survive, in the children screaming for attention, and in the animals without refuge as our home is being destroyed. Yet even amidst such devastating pain and overwhelming suffering, there is abundant evidence of love and tenderness still able to sustain life.
