Hard Life*

Why is life sometimes so hard?  One reason is that we try to be someone we are not.  Jealousy, fear, self-esteem, are energies that lead us to do this “impersonation.”  Sometimes people take substances like alcohol to change their persona at a social event.  In the Adam and Even myth, they tried to be someone they are not, God.  I think I have been guilty of this myself from time to time.  I find now that if I just give of what I am, be myself, then it will be enough.  If it is who I am, then it is never too small.  If I am sick, I try not to make believe that I am not sick.  I prefer to effect and not infect other people with my presence.
