I am trying to find new websites, trolling to see if I can find something beyond what I normally read. I am finding that I am coming across things the are moving me into spirituality, though not religion. I came across The Happiness Project's site and this got me to thinking that I have never put the list all in one place. What themes really make me go squishy with dismay? What makes me want to cover my head with a pillow and screw my eyes tight so I don't have to see it? I hadn't ever laid it all out what are the situations/themes/traits that make me cringe. Here is the list I have come up with thus far:
Weakness
Thoughtless-ness
Carelessness
Selfishness
Rigidity
lack of empathy and sympathy
Injustice
lack of follow through
Snottiness
Intolerance
Ugliness
Repression
Suppression
Mis-communication
This is not to say that I am perfect. I am so very far from perfect. It is hard to stay centered all the time and not let feelings sneak up on me that are less than zen. Or even to say that I have the best follow through. I am terrible with the follow through, and this is why these are the things that drive me particularly crazy. I can be amazingly selfish at times, but I strive to be better than that. I am trying hard to be aware of those around me and their struggles, and I think I remember most of the time to take that into consideration when dealing with someone else's drama. I am a work in progress, I am evolving, but I wonder when it will be natural to me and how I will know when I am there?
