Sometimes we obsess about helping people through their problems - TopicsExpress



          

Sometimes we obsess about helping people through their problems because of how it makes us feel. It lifts our spirits. It inflates our egos and strokes our god-complexes with the trepidation of a part-time masseuse. It makes saints out of sociopaths and martyrs out of missionaries. Maybe we can first help ourselves and sort out the squabbles in our minds. Clear out inhibitions that make us unproductive. Shrug off moral inconsistencies that turn us into petty creatures. Do little things that demand our undivided attention and unbridled enthusiasm. Be more affable to children. Diet without delusions of inadequacies. Spot seabirds during weekdays. Finger-paint a moment of ecstasy. We ought to feel better about our own lives before we convince others that theirs can be better too.
