Remember
We come to this plane of existence in full remembrance of who and what we are, but we quickly learn to forget, and cling to the false reality of this place. Each month, I offer a reminder of the ever enduring Spirit that is YOU!

Empathy, Sympathy, Then Truth
January 6, 2009
Empathy, Sympathy, Then Truth
I watch someone close to me build a fire and then stick their hand in the center of the flames. I watch as they cry in agony. They come to me for comfort, I nurse their wounds and offer soothing words of comfort.
I have Empathy.
I watch someone close to me again build a fire and then stick their hand in the center of the flames. I painfully watch as they cry in agony. They return to me for comfort, I nurse their wounds and offer soothing words of comfort.
I have more Empathy.
I watch someone close to me again build a fire and then stick their hand in the center of the flames. I watch as they cry in agony. They return to me for comfort. I help them nurse their wounds and offer words of advice to deter the act of burning.
I have Sympathy.
I watch someone close to me again build a fire and then stick their now badly burned hand into the center of the flames. I watch them cry out in agony. They return to me for comfort, I can offer none. Instead, I offer truth.
I see their need to physically create the pain inside. I see there is nothing I can do to stop this cycle until they decide to no longer feel pain.
I see Truth.
