You are better than that to blame others for your circumstances. The reason people blame others is because they lack shame. Shame is that painful feeling of humiliation or distress your consciousness causes due to your wrong or foolish, otherwise known as, stupid behavior. Not everyone is feeling or experiencing the circumstances described in the meme (shown below), because the life of and the environment of each and every one of us, though they may seem to look like two distinct phenomena, are essentially two functions of the same reality of an INDIVIDUAL. Each one of us has their very own unique environment, because each of us experiences a life that is subjective where we find as its rewards the effects of our very own past actions so we all experience our very own environment where our life finds expression. This is the meaning of the expression “If the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds.” Life is transient. We all possess a temporary existence, and only form a temporary relationship with perception, conception, volition, consciousness and our body itself. Life then is not substantial or that strongly built, meaning what phenomena that does occur in life depends on other phenomena. This mutual connection between two or more things or what is dependent origination can also refer to our interconnection. It means things don’t have to be the way they are; it means we can change our reality in a moment, but what that takes is for us to overcome our ego, or that part of ourselves that is our sense of personal identity, which wants to stop us from perceiving the true nature of our life. In other words, our ego can get in the way of changing our life for the better. It doesn’t mean you stop expressing your individuality; it means you OWN your very own circumstances and you aim to change whatever it is that is causing you to suffer and not blame others for where you are. You do that by possessing a seeking spirit and digging deep down inside your life for the wisdom you need to change them. This takes a lot of courage, but “a sword is useless in the hands of a coward.” The way you do that is through determination, which is another word for having faith; you drop the dogma that drives you and you say to yourself, “no matter what, I will overcome this and that which is causing me to suffer” and you drive yourself in that direction and it will take you where you want to go. When you find that difficult, you resort to prayer, not in supplication, but with firmness of purpose and resoluteness that you can and will change your circumstances. Then wisdom will definitely make an appearance; and then it becomes the soundness of the actions and decisions you take that you know are right, with regard to applying your experience, knowledge, and good judgment; then things change for the better and it makes you happy!
RESPONSE TO: I don’t give a Rats ass, who this offends, but I stand by it. War is coming, it may be Americans fighting Americans or it may be foreign, but sooner or later! You the Government!! You are all a bunch of cowards! You raised the cost of living so high that both parents are always at work, rather than spending time with their children (single parents stand no chance) 😥. You give yourself raises and vacations while some of us work multiple jobs to provide the basics to our families. You took God out of schools. Parents were told ‘No you can’t discipline your kids’. Well, now most of those kids are rude and out of control. You shall reap what you sow! We have taken a whole generation and turned them into selfish, entitled brats who have no respect for people, property or authority! You deem people with terminal illnesses and some with only a few months to live…fit for work!!! You give a paycheck and benefits to people too lazy to work while some of us struggle physically to make an honest dollar and then that money is taken and blown by greedy government. Another part of it is taken by the greedy insurance companies and drug companies that are in your back pocket so we know there will be no reform for them. You make having baby after baby and staying at home and not contributing to society in any way profitable to the leaches. You allow our veterans of war to go homeless and hungry but give out millions to foreign aid!!! You save drug addicts over and over again but refuse to give free diabetic supplies to those who need them to stay alive. You bend over backwards to be politically correct, too scared to say enough is enough, in case you offend someone. You put the retirement age up so people must work until they drop. You take care of prisoners and give them everything under the sun (food, medical, education, representation, money, rehabilitation) yet you cause the elderly, those that have paid their debt to society and their families, to go broke caring for them either at home or in a nursing home… THINGS NEED TO CHANGE! Copy & paste if you have the guts!
