Humanity carries a tremendous amount of emotional pain. Not just the individual pain that is sourced in our unhealed life experiences, but also the pain of the unresolved collective- the carry forward trauma of past generations. Working that through to happiness is no easy thing in a distracted world, but it is possible, so long as we create space to heal our hearts. One of the great challenges to that process is shame. Not just past shame, but present day shame as well. That is, the message we receive from others that our pain is unreal, or reflections of our victim-hood, or indications that we just arent trying hard enough to put the pain body away and be happy. Quite often, those who are shaming us for our negative feelings are those who are fleeing their own pain the fastest. If we are going to heal this bloodied planet, we have to invite self-revealing and healing, not shun it. Lets begin by not judging a person until we have walked in their sandals. Those who honor their feelings are brave beyond measure in a heart-avoidant world.
