Muddle's Muddy Waters

[MuddleThrough]

Thanks GH. That's a big part of the difficulty here - I DO and have tried to always see things from her perspective. I know there's been far too much judgement on my part, but I have tried to always see it from her side. This has no bearing on how she sees me, and in the end I think we are all learning that we are cementing our values and learning that acting on them is a very personal thing that has little to do with how others see us, and everything to do with how we see ourselves (this of course influences how others see us).

This is the essence of detachment to me: removing selfishness from interactions, i.e., being able to view a situation for what it is, regardless of its impact on me. I guess it's a very spiritual concept, and I think our journey is a very spiritual one, but it's also a quest for truth. I think this is another one of those hugely divergent planes between us and our WASs. They seek to escape life in a fantasy while we seek to truly understand the dynamic of our reality and to accept and improve it.
