The reality we are looking at...
There are people who settle for little, very little even goes so far as to confuse minimal gestures with great demonstrations of love, who believe that a little attention is something heroic and no, unfortunately they are crumbs, pinches and apices of nothing.
I don't mean to say that everyday details don't matter, not at all. I think that in these gestures the basis of any relationship is built. But be very careful to confuse us and to interpret the minimum with the full plate.
The crumbs are parts of the bread, but no more. I think it's time to understand that those who accept crumbs will never feel satisfied... And part of the problem is that sometimes we don't understand that when you act from lack and need, you don't make good decisions.
Our insecurities, fears, shortcomings and others play against us, because we can believe that maybe we will never receive what we are looking for.
We may come to think that a little piece of “good bread” is better than staying, with nothing.
If you eat crumbs you will always be hungry, and many times we get into pointless conflicts to prove that we are right, even if that ends up stealing our peace.
Although we don't like to admit it, we end up arguing not because we are in the ardent search for the truth. But because we have the desire to be recognized, to demonstrate our power.
As I have matured, I have understood that peace is almost always the best option. Few situations deserve to be engaged in a battle. Our rights, values, principles... but most of the silly battles have nothing to do with that, they have more to do with our ego.
Similarly, patience is the mother of all virtues, and I tell you something that waiting without predicting what will happen in the future is the healthiest thing for the heart and spirit.
Why? Why do we worry about things that we have to do in three months? What is the end? We don't need it for tomorrow, we need it for three months from now!... So being overwhelmed today threatens our current well-being for the next 90 days.... it's exhausting for us! Really this, we don't deserve it and so we think we're not going to solve it before because it doesn't serve us, today.
Choosing peace does not imply surrendering, humiliating oneself or giving the reason to those who do not have it. But to avoid thinking that we are the ones responsible for enlightening that person. When you realize that you don't have to wait for each other's crumbs, and you realize that you deserve and can receive another kind of affection, your life changes radically. Life changes when we start working on our consciousness.
Because loving better, thinking better, setting limits, managing anxiety or stopping living on automatic, doesn't happen by luck. It is cultivated.
