"is god punishing me for being kind?"
i wish i could take that to a philosophy class. a graduate philosophy seminar, actually. that we ponder, meditate, and write different perspectives, each student, for the whole semester, if not year.
that is a doozy
even as I meditate on it now, the first thing that comes to me is job of the bible.
it was not his patience that all the preachers present as the issue.
it is and was that he is a strong character. strong minded.
broad-shouldered/ long viewed. his soul was well formed.
his heart was contiguous.
there were neither cracks nor fragments in his program, frame or framework
i would give the first student an A who recognizes by that statement, the speaker was not being kind, never was kind, they were motivated by self-centered self-directed reasons. not out of any fullness.
now lets go further and deeper.
and then they will ask questions and I will tell them that this is a catholic church goer, every weekend.
i pause and think of the power of the mind, and of nelson mandela and how he and other long serving prisoners guide and cultivate their minds so as never to be broken and twisted... so another aspect of this course and seminar would be to bring up examples through history of how challenges, imprisonments, and other traumatizing turn of events and unexpected life fall outs are handled.
why am i the star wisdom queen only in my eyes?
bringing forth all this value for no one benefitting
not even me.
sigh
