I know this may sound out of date...but it is very now!
I think there are many reasons but one reason change does not come easy...it is to do with acceptance and the placing of who we are. And a lot of times comes from a miss using and misunderstanding of accepting the wrong values and miss placing of who we are amongst them....
If we identify (most times unconsciously) ourselves with an action, object, state of affairs, etc. Whenever one of those start to shift place we encounter some inner "shake" of identity. For example I was visiting the other day a good friend. And as I was talking to her I observed that she was wearing a beautiful necklace. I asked her if this was new as I didn't remember it and she very proudly said "oh, this is my diabetic necklace". And with that she pulled the chain out of her top and unveiled a pendant of silvery letters which connected in the word: DIABETIC.
She was beamingly happy about this... and the more happy she was, the more I felt sadness... with my face probably showing it.
This friend of mine has so many qualities that I would probably not be able to contain half of them on an A4 page and yet she is identifying herself with an illness. She is not diabetic, she is wonderful I would say. She ought to wear "WONDERFUL"necklace ....
When did the civilization of XXI century stopped treating people's ailments and started to make a trademark out of them? I mean...If someone buys themselves a necklace with the disease would they ever get better? Or does that show the obvious resignation of hope?
Will change ever be easy to accept here? Or better not go there...
