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 1

The thirty spokes unite in the one nave; but it is on
the empty space (for the axle), that the use of the wheel depends.
Clay is fashioned into vessels; but it is on their empty hollowness,
that their use depends. The door and windows are cut out (from the
walls) to form an apartment; but it is on the empty space (within),
that its use depends. Therefore, what has a (positive) existence serves
for profitable adaptation, and what has not that for (actual) usefulness.
