if i feel frustrated with someone, or "humanity" , i know it's me, not them. they are my thoughts, my feelings, coming from me. there is no way i can judge anyone else, when i just have to honestly look at myself and know that it's all in me too. i may see things a certain way, and for example the people in this forum see things similarly, but does that make it necessarily true? it's only true for us, at this time, subject to change, always change.

that is extremely well put, larissa!
it seems to be our tendency to project all responsibility outward. especially in the u.s. if you spill your coffee and burn yourself, just sue mcdonalds; if your medicine doesn't work as expected, sue the doctors or the drugmakers; if you get drunk and crash your car and possibly kill somebody, you can always sue the bartender, etc.

the world is your mirror, it is merely showing you those places within you that need to be healed. there is no thing outside of you that can ever disturb your peace, that does not have its roots within you. the hawaiians have a pretty cool method to deal with this. just google hooponopono for more info.
