im not missing the point
this is the point
what can you do to make things better?
what can you do to stop the world from offending you?
what can you do to stop people from doing what they ought not to do?
people do these things because they do not know better
at a spiritual level they do not know
if you have some wisdom which is truthfully beyond the wisdom which they understand
then all you can do is share the wisdom
or
accept the fact that people will not know better than what they already know
only in knowing better will a person do as they ought to do
if you do not help them to know better then you cannot say "do not do this" or "do not do that"
of course they will do it!
and if you understand why they do as they do then you know that you are no better than they are because you have done the same!
you have been where they are - do you really think you have not? HA!
it was only in learning better that you grew beyond that
and so you cannot stay resentful at them forever because they are just YOU from before
you are not better
youre just older with more experience and especially the benefit of having learned from the experience of those who were older than you and have been willing to help you to know better
for those who dont want the wisdom but only the attention
or only the money
even these are the ones i am talking about
they do not know
every person can change
every person can grow
and none of us has the power to say "you must this" and "you must that"
of course it is offensive that people act certain ways
maybe some do not want to do the work of changing
maybe some do not want to EARN wisdom
but we all die
and in that is the key to understanding
no one wants to die a fool
people will work when they understand the value of the work
the ones who do not want to work do not understand
why?
because they do not know!
did you always know? NO! lol
and are you better now than they are because you know? NO lol
its not in any way that you ARE better
only that you KNOW better
that is the point
