It is impossible to build one's own happiness on the unhappiness of others.
Daisaku Ikeda
This here, healing path, spiritual path, mystic path... amazing and hard at the same time, taking so many different shapes and colours. There are times of removing ourselves, of cocooning, experimenting, tinkering, consciously reconnecting...
Then there is the moment when there’s enough space to look at the macro, feel the water, sense the oxygen and see the surroundings in which (our own) past trauma occuurred and present trauma still occurs all over the world. We live in a system (neo liberalism/capitalist modernity) that is built on trauma, injustice, racism, othering and unhappiness of the other. Pretty much by design.
It’s a lot, one of the very least things we can do is consciously uncouple from harmful mechanisms within and outside ourselves and make sure to prevent the perpetration of suffering on others by the small choices we make in our daily lives.
