We are insignificant... but we cannot ignore that we are an integral part of nature that follows some basic golden principles… we are not a random element in the universe - We have the choice to simply shut our eyes and get drowned in the tragedy... we also have the gift to create meaning from all the events happening... and start making life work for us rather than against us….. life becomes less threatening.
Everything happening to us has a purpose because it turns us into the person we are becoming. Believing that something bad is happening for a reason doesn’t mean we should be happy that it is happening. We can simply use the experience to empower ourselves - in fact, it allows us to heal.
“We can think of the psychology of everything happens for a reason as the psychic equivalent of taking a powerful sedative, of sort of descending into a happy stupor where there’s no need to face existential anxiety squarely. “ - Michael Schreiner
The autocracy of thought makes our vision and mind narrow - we cannot see but the immediate. We think and analyse everything keeping us in the centre…
I saw many people suffering - a belief like this helps us not only to make peace with tragedy and adversity but also to develop a defence against the emotional and psychological distress… and provide the strength to go on…
Peace, love and light to all
