See if I care?!

There are times when you see the most unexpected things.

Yesterday I saw this person taking her cat on a walk.

I was surprised to see this kitty strutting her stuff, just as surprised as all the dogs passing her?!

Neither the owner nor the cat seemed to be bothered by any humans or dogs alike.

Can you ever be this chill about the world?

Can you not care enough to be able to just take each day at the time?

Can you be distant enough from your past, present and future to just experience the moment?

I know I seem to be repeating myself, but I often wonder when did we, the human beings, become so obsessed by what others think of us that rather than experimenting and living life to the fullest, we decided to live by other people’s expectations.

Emotions I guess are once again the front runners for this issue. And of course shame and embarrassment, fear of failure are major players.

Are you able to deal with these emotions/ feelings?

Are you still emotionally responsive to situations? If you are, I guess more inner work is required.

Emotion is our energy for many things; it is not about not caring; it is not about not feeling; it is about being able to feel and think at the same time. It is about being able to deal with the emotional upset and the rise of emotions in a balanced way.

See?! If I care….?!

Time to take out your diary and take some notes when answering the questions.
