Remember that comic strip by Walt Kelly?
How true this is. I'm now wondering if most of the negative aspects of human behavior are simply that we do not believe we deserve to be happy.
Thus we 'self-sabotage'. Look at your behaviors, how many of them are 'counter-productive'. Bad habits. Bad actions in which you feel guilty while doing them (yelling at your loving spouse).
Look at some of the blood-lust we see here from time to time (everyone feels it, even the more laid-back posters). I think it's a reaction to trying to insure one's happiness, paradoxically, at the point of a gun. (it's complicated).
We're angry and we want to do things which will ultimately not solve anything and will even get us -into- more trouble. We protest 'it's our right, dammit, to be peaceful!'. What I'm going to do is examine my beliefs and actions and see if I can't 'fix' this propensity. If you see some 'light' here, then you're welcome to ponder it with me.
So, anyway, just a random thought on a cloudy Monday morning...
