Feeling a bit tender at the moment. It's been a strange day in that I have received feedback from several different people that my points of view disgust, shame and infuriate them, and whilst that was interesting to see how quickly I was able to process these experiences and see if there was something I needed to look at or think about things a bit more and consider that maybe I am still very ignorant told me that I am getting better at not letting things get to me so much but getting the message and forgiving myself for being ignorant and wanting to do better. It's been character building. :)
At the moment I feel a bit worn out from all the processing of the stuff about the guy who killed those people in santa barbara and how it caused me to reflect on my own past where I felt like wanting to kill people for the suffering they caused me, and how, at the end of the day anybody could have done this if they were placed in the same position and environment as he was. So many people here know I'm sure how that feels, but they showed self-restraint and did not become the slave of their own rage and anger. Feeling contemplative I guess.
I feel more present and connected to my self and wisdom. I felt healed earlier on today and feel like I am improving at validating my feelings more as well as having compassion and forgiving myself, which I am happy about.
