You are only crying and angry BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT BEING YOURSELF. Once you have the clarity needed to KNOW that you will never be happy if you have to propped up others emotionally....once you have that clarity your anger and tears go away and what remains is compassion for those co-dependents. It's a paradox!

I've also cried a lot by myself this year... like... once every two weeks. Often times I wish I could have SOMEONE in my life to know the way I feel... and to share this with me and not reject me.
|
I went through a couple year phase like that because I saw in my life huge changes that I must make and didn't want to walk through that fire.

I like that quote about anger.... I think for an unfortunately large part of my life, I'd get angry and then not show it, because I knew it was a weakness of mine. And I'd act like everything was perfectly fine... sigh.
|
That's why you are angry...you created the obstacle and then you hate yourself for being weak.

As I look around me, I'm really quite happy compared to so many people... but yet I find myself on this forum haha.... I hope one day I'll have no need
I like what you said about 'happy' egos. Those egos are simply... the most convincing to me or something? Those are the ones that make me jealous I guess. But they're egos none-the-less.
|
Yup, but those egos are not happy. They are desperate, greedy, scared...there is never ever a winner in the ego game. Sharp clarity makes you the "winner" in life and the best news is that all of us can be "winners"!

Great!! That means I am not supporting your ego but am appealing to your consciousness...yeah!!
