I’ve just seen a news item where people are targeting Western embassies because they blame the West for their problems.
I’m not saying that the West have a lot to be proud of, there are parts of history that make me proud and others that make me cringe, in equal measure.
When I observe the wider world I feel exactly the same. There are countries screaming about historic slavery whilst slavery is still a thing on their own continent. People are being trafficked.
This is where blame gets you, you miss your own truth. You feel right by making others seem wrong. You’re blameless, and also powerless.
Internalise
No matter what anyone else has done, in the past or recently, no matter whether we’re talking globally, nationally, or personally, blame is a powerless emotion.
All any of us have is ourselves, right here, right now. If we don’t change it then it won’t change.
Power
If you don’t like the way your country is, be part of the solution.
If you were hurt in the past only you can take the actions necessary to move past it.
The past is gone. You’re recreating it in your own mind over and over again, living trapped in a time loop. Only you can stop, take stock of your now, and work with it.
You are not where you are because some unknown people have done better than you in life. You are where your life training and the attitude and decisions of the adults around you, led you. Training you took on and continue to manifest. Those unknown people don’t know you exist. They had no effect on you.
If your attitude is poisoning your life, change it.
At the end of the day only one question counts:
Do you want to be happy or not?
