& so i've learned...

The only way to eliminate stress and pain is to stop doing the things that create it. It is easy to see what others do to us while we forget the drama we create for ourselves. How? Take your pick: The need to be right. Lack of life purpose. How we think others see us. Trying to fix the world. Dishonesty with self and others. Accepting someone else's truth. Seeking material wealth over spiritual values. Doing it alone (a.k.a the "nigga i got this" syndrome). My way is the right way. Fear of the future. Negative thought patterns. Trying to prove yourself to others. Anger over past. Telling other people what to do... It all boils down to "not knowing who we are."
