grinning* with joy:joyful:
the last line is from a lovingkindness meditation(ie. Metta) from Buddhism
it is very powerful intention

as an aside: Most cultures used to pronounce 'blessings' upon each other as a defined cultural act. We have largely lost that in our modern world.
It is a huge loss.

To me, it has great power and intention to say to someone "May you......"
When I say that to anyone, I feel it very deeply....it is my entire being wishing that on the other person.

Metta is intended to create and sustain compassion toward all beings. :happy:

Thank you @void for explaining these things to me. I am very much interested in having compassion to all beings and it is a struggle at times, but the ultimate goal.

I realize that there will be no justice...

What I don't know how to do is live with that.

I realize that it is time to "back up and punt" and not rush blindly into anything and yet, I also need to proceed with hope and optimism.

I realize that I won't become pretty.

I realize that I don't accept my body.

I realize that I get nervous around good-looking people.

I realize that I have to watch out because of my sleep deprivation.

I realize that there will be no justice...

You can be that justice to your daughter.

That justice the world around you won't offer now.

I realize I don't owe anything to teachers who've turned hurtful.

Clearly outgrown them, time to find new teachers that aren't them.

I realized today that I am not as stupid as I thought I was. I realized that I can learn with practice and keeping up with new technology is hard for me but I can slowly learn. Pretty proud of myself today.

 

[Ronin]

@gizmo, proud of you too. :)

And you know what they say, right: Some times it's not keeping pace, but being still on the same track, that makes all the difference.
