What is Wrong with All of Us?

Sometimes it is hard not to just look around and wonder, "what is wrong with all of us?"  Try not to say it out loud!  As humans, we are deeply flawed.  At any point in time you might be facing people who are talking bad about you, working schemes against you, trying to take advantage of you, or much worse.  And, if we take an honest look in the mirror, we probably have a list of things that ... shall I say ... we would prefer were not our natural tendencies towards others.  On this later point, forget any other moral standard, if we really judged ourselves on the standards we set for others, we would fall woefully short.  But that is a whole other blog entry for another day.

The point is that we are deeply flawed, each and every one of us.  We know that we should be better, but many of us just cannot seem to get it together and keep it together.  This revelation and self awareness is a huge part of really "knowing yourself" as you are today.  As we are today is largely a product of our focus on the natural world around us.  We humans feed off of each other, sometimes in positive ways, but all too often in negative ways.  That one person who is mean to you makes you mean back.  When we are judgemental to someone else, they become self conscious towards themselves.  If you factor the trillions of instances just like these, it is no wonder that ourselves and those around us all seem like we are swimming upstream; against nature.

Once we "know ourselves" as we are today, and acknowledge that life just doesn't feel right, balanced, or natural; then we can work on the next step.  If you walk around thinking the world is perfect and everything is fine, then you might need some self reflection and community observation.  But if any of this blog post resonates, I encourage you to dig deeper by taking the next step ... "accepting yourself" ... or specifically accepting the person you are designed to become.
