Act/React
When insecurities bump heads... having a conversation last night and got offended at an offhand comment. For the next hour or so I brooded about it, and pondered the whys and wherefores as is my over-analytical way. It is a question of vulnerabilities colliding. One person says something from their vulnerability (false self) and the other reacts from their vulnerability (false core) or the other way around. Either way you are acting/reacting from a false presumption.
And yet. It is difficult. Sometimes I am envious of those people that are so adept at living in the material world, when I seem to do nothing but chase flights of fancy and air. It is hard to know what to do sometimes, and even harder when one cultivates an awareness of multitudes, suddenly the options are endless and not a thing is right or wrong. I guess I haven't practiced enough life surfing to fully enjoy those moments of monstrous uncertainty.
