I have friends who tell me that focusing on the positive will bring more of it into the world and my life. For a while I have seen this as inherently untrue and a form of denial. I understand now why this is so. While, it may bring more to me, it takes it from somewhere else to do so. This creates a vacuum which must be filled and if I have taken the positive, then what is left to fill it? Some of these beautiful people turn off the news because of how scary the world is, or have done so for so long the world seems to be much happier and smaller than it is. It is important to be able to stand the truth of these horrors and retain a core of kindness and calm. It is a hard thing to do, but the only thing that will save us this late in the game. Balance, admitting the dark, celebrating the light, this is what heals. Asking for help, not keeping silent, reaching out to help and care for those who are oppressed, this is what heals. Walking away from a toxic person is only leaving a person to find their own way out of the darkness alone. There are times when this must be done, but only after careful consideration and realization that there are no other options to continue to live.
