I am so tired of people saying,
“You are exactly where you
are supposed to be,”
no matter what someone’s life circumstances and
challenges.
Yes, there is no question that we can often learn something of
value wherever we are on the path; and yes, we may have, in some situations,
attracted the exact challenge that we need to grow,
BUT that does not mean that
we are ALWAYS where we are supposed to be, or that we chose our reality.
Telling that to someone in every situation even when they are ill or suffering tremendously
is arrogant, and adds insult to injury.
Sometimes we need a kick in the ass,
and sometimes we are just a victim of terrible circumstances. Sometimes we
chose our reality, and sometimes it just chose us.
Sometimes our suffering is
needless and the result of other people’s wrongdoing.
Compassion demands that
we hold the space for other’s challenges with a wide open heart. Let them
decide if they are exactly where they are supposed to be.
It’s not for us to
say.
Namaste
