Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God! – no, no! They heard! – they suspected! – they knew! – they were making a mockery of my horror! – This I thought, and this, I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles for no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! And now – again! – Hark! Louder! Louder! Louder! Louder!
“Villains!” I shrieked, “dissemble no more! I admit the deed! – Tear up the planks! Here, here! – It is the beating of his hideous heart!” – The Tell-Tale Heart by Edgar Allan Poe
Our sins
Many of us spend a lot of time depleting our energy, over situations we have caused. We plummet our thoughts into a downward spiral of negative thinking. We slap the blame upon the heads of those around us, but we never take ownership of our ‘own’ actions.
Why do many of us select the option to remove others, rather than to naturally and wisely, remove ourselves?
Think for a moment about all the times a situation has occurred, and we do the following:
- Broadcast it to others (remember we’re involved in the events unfolding.)
- Omit the part we played that caused this to happen.
- Highlight to the masses that ‘I’m so shocked and angry!’ But fail to own up to how we are the cause.
Why do we choose, yes, choose! To inflict pain and suffering onto others? Why not simply remove ourselves from the situation and live our best lives?
I want you to remember that in the short-term, you may wish to fulfil the urge and push through with your negative actions. However, I must remind you that the ‘same’ actions/choices will bring on the same results. Your negative actions will wink at you like the evil eye, and you’ll forever be tethered to your own negative assumptions.
You have the choice, the option the awareness to walk away from negativity. You have the option to redirect your energy into positive opportunities.
