My realization from this clip is this: people mistakenly believe they must make black/white decisions. It really does not have to be that definitive. Life has many variables. We need not attend to just one 'business to attend to'' as you put it. Perhaps we are not even meant to make life so one dimensional. Yet seeing people do this we gain a barometer reading of their spiritual consciousness. Fragmented people in our lives become synonymous with a fragmented consciousness. Eventually we gravitate towards those souls who reflect our own conscious awareness but we do not have to cut ourselves off from others we love and who have loved us.We may even learn to make less promises and clarify our promises as a result of changing circumstances.
i am presenting another approach to the challenges we often face. There are many creative choices we have available to us . The problem is that quite often people can not integrate changing circumstances into set patterns of life decisions.
What do you think I am trying to say?
I was commenting on the video you posted. Most people give up too easily. Sometimes we need space with others but all too often this means giving up permanently and moving on to a different source of excitement or going back to the familiarity of the past. The challenges that face the present are there as part of our karma and learning experiences brought about by the divine plan for our growth. When we give up or turn our back on them we will only face them again in new faces and circumstances. Better to admit we make mistakes and try our best with what faces us. When others around us give up and move on it becomes recognizable that we are victorious since we did not. One never fails till they have given up. There is a great irony about the falling out of friendships and relationships: quite often those who leave only verify that they themselves are left with the karma. Because those who are left with the vacuum from that loss have space to let higher forms of relationships enter their lives.
This post was not meant personally at you unless of course it applies. It is too soon to make that sort of evaluation.This post is the result of a life time of encounters in relationships with friends. Hope this clears up things a bit Brock.
