 Somethings about us are just fine the way they are!
About two years ago, I started going to these personal developement sites and forums, reading all these articles of wisdom from sites by some guru or enlightened person. And it just dawned on me, that there are somethings about our personality that are just fine the way they are.
For example, I just read somewhere about how great being independent is. In terms of love. Not needing another person to make you feel complete. Or how great it is to be egoless. To live life unaffected by people, to live a life where you're unaffected by any situation that comes your way, good or bad.
Most of these concepts I just sit there and judge how these gurus can do that, and how come I cant. Thinking that I'm somehow living a worse life because I cant be as advanced as these gurus. I realized somethings are fine just the way they are. If i'm in a dependent relationship with my girlfriend and we're both happy about it, then we're fine just the way we are. If I cant hug and thank a person who punches me in the stomach, then I'm just fine the way I am.
