Our Own Doing

MAP

There is no white knight on a shiny horse that is going to rescue us, is there.

No.  But you act like it. You keep doing the same things you know are not good for you waiting for somebody to tell you to stop.

That’s not going to happen.  The sooner you understand that the better.

Get on with life – now.  Right now.

Why do you keep doing things you know are harmful to your bodies, to your planet, to each other, to your health.  I have not seen such an abusive species before.

Maybe we never outgrew our need for boundaries.

Why cannot you create your own?  Do you have to wait for someone or something else to tell you to stop?  That is acting like a three year old or a teenager experiencing its first taste of freedom from its parents.

You’ve gone wild and crazy.  When do you plan to stop?  You have the wisdom before you but you keep on with the destructive behaviors.

What do you enjoy so much about that to keep doing that?

We aren’t all on a death wish.  We’re not all out to destroy ourselves.

As a collective whole you are.  And as individuals too.

Worry is a destructive behavior.  As is guilt, anger and a negative outlook.

You fill yourself intentionally with stress to fuel you.  The body can only take that for so long.  You are on the path to kill yourself – sooner not later.

Which do you choose?

You say you don’t want to die, prolong life as long as possible, yet what you do to yourselves leads you to die an early death.

What is it you are truly afraid of?

It cannot be death or your thoughts and behaviors would differ greatly from what they are now.  You are not afraid of death as much as you are something else.

What is it?

Until you name it you will not be able to turn this boat around. Perhaps you should embrace death so you cannot use that as an excuse anymore.

Think about that – what are you truly afraid of?



I am not here to place boundaries on you.  That is a story of the past.  I am not the punisher of bad behavior to keep you in line.

That is an old story that is not working anymore.

Yes – your physical environment used to provide you with a set of natural boundaries or parameters to work within.  But you have travelled far beyond those.  The balance and check points are no longer there.

Food, water, air, land would all point to that.

What you do to yourselves is your own doing.

Get that.  Now.  Not sooner or later.

Get this now – what you do to yourselves is your own doing.

You alone are responsible for what happens from here on out.  This has always been true but did not appear so.

You gave yourself permission to do as you please because you had something else to rein you in, so to speak.  That is no longer here.

You have to rein yourself in.  What you eat, what you think, how you interact with one another and the planet is all up to you – the collective and the individual you.

You are all in this together as am I.

I am here with you but I do not protect you from yourselves as you have come to expect a parent would.  I am not a parent.

I am one of you.

You know what the right thing is to do – now you just have to admit it so you can do it.

What are you really afraid of?
