These are all questions that don't make much of a difference at the moment, do they? I think we are trying to get straight in our minds some sort of path into the future so that we can maintain a sense of control. A part of us wants to just say it's over just so we can plan for that outcome and have that stability, while the opposite is true too. In the end, success will only come through letting go of this need to control and create our world and just accept the altruistic portion of our goals as our focus and drop the idea that we know what this will look like. We don't know what the best outcome will be even if we think we do. We can only come to acheive it by letting go and allowing things to happen as they may, this way we will be free of resentment because we don't have expectations as to what the "right" thing to do is, or what the right outcome is. This is the difference beteen blame and responsibility Whatis. this is where we can take responsibility for changing our perspective to eliminate resenment causing thinking on our part rather than blaming ourselves for being resentful, and in so doing will be in a far better place to recognize the steps toward positive resolution than if we are stuck in a resentful, closed-minded place ourselves. It's all we can do. Either we stay where we are and become bitter, cut our losses and leave because we are unable to change our expectations and thereby reduce our pain to a bearable level, or we accept things as they are and let go of everything we can't control.
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it. ” – Albert Einstein
