Escaping ... Part C'

Growing up a child will observe the ways in which adults invent numerous forms of ‘rejuvenation’ and ‘escape’ from the daily grind….Sooner or later however these pleasant pastimes prove themselves to be ways of avoiding truth and become a source of new addictions…..

Other people

Many people utilize others in their search for fulfillment….

Cooperation: happiness or obligation...

'Innocent' lies...
Many of us will have felt the loneliness of the effort-maker, of our ... responsibilities and burdens... and we will have experienced the chaotic thoughts that accumulate and finally burst forth in a reactive way...

"Who is going to do all this work ... me again? , "...I'm on my own here! Isn't anyone going to help me ?..." , "They’ve deserted me..." , "Are they going to learn how to cooperate or not?" and “ I've done so much for them and this is how they show their gratitude!"

Why don't others cooperate as they "should do"?
Why do we end up feeling so embittered about their indifference ? What makes us feel this way?

Let me look a little closer...
Let me pause my thoughts and feelings before stepping into the 'swamp' of resentment and enmity and getting stuck one more time... thoughts and words that seem to be so 'normal' or ordinary are in fact signs of discontentment... why is it that my enthusiasm and creativity are evaporating?
