ฮผ tolerance -> acceptance ฮผ

Posted: Fri, Jun 24, 2005 05:40:37 AM

well i started this blog at home while waiting for some things to complete their cycle and did not like where it was going -- so this is my second draft and it seems to be going a whole different direction. my part in the landmine problem i wrote about yesterday is that i have found myself expecting people around me to change and have been resentful of the results --> them not changing.
here i am full of expectations about others, resentful at their behaviors, taking their inventories and being intolerant and unaccepting of who they are at this moment. no wonder i feel confused most of the time lately!
well thinking about tolerating and accepting others and how that relates to my self-will and the various manifestations of my insanity leads me to the conclusion that i am truly living my second step and that i am finally almost ready to make that leap of FAITH of considering a decision to let GOD take care of my life and will. do not skip over the ‘almost’, i am not really ready just almost. hopefully i will find the time to meet with my sponsor, complete sharing my second step with him and move on before i really get out there.
i know today that tolerance leads to acceptance and today i am willing to tolerate and see what happens.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

1) The things which from of old have got the One (the Tao) are--

Heaven which by it is bright and pure;
Earth rendered thereby firm and sure;
Spirits with powers by it supplied;
Valleys kept full throughout their void
All creatures which through it do live
Princes and kings who from it get
The model which to all they give. All these are the results of the
One (Tao).
