One of my cafe friends is well into his 70 s. He is brilliant. He can talk about a myriad of subjects, and can do the New York Times crossword in under 30 minutes. Yet, developmentally, on an emotional level, he is still a 14 year old boy. He still blames his parents for his unhappiness. He is still angry that the other boys bullied him, and the girls rejected him.
Feeling good 24/7 is not encouraged in this world. How could we possibly feel good when others are suffering. The homeless, war-torn countries, poverty, and disease are rampant. People are suffering emotionally. There is loneliness, heart break, despair. We may know people in our own life that are suffering.
Recently someone said to me that they have found a highly evolved spiritual community of millennial empaths on Instagram. And that WordPress has ‘lost its vibe’ I found the comment quite revealing.
I am so grateful that we have someone like Donald Trump to use as an example of the human mind run amok. He wants total control. Yet he has no clue what he’s doing, and is willing to crush anyone who disagrees with him or is not loyal to him and him alone. The more control he is granted, without checks and balances, the more irrational he becomes. He trusts no one. He wants to appear strong, because underneath, he is terrified he is weak and vulnerable. So his ego is fragile, and paper-thin.
