"Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow."
~Aesop ~
~Aesop ~
It's not possible to please everyone, no matter how we may play at it and want it to be so. There will always be those who cannot understand us or hear what we have to say. Even if we come bearing good tidings, some people are made deaf by the strength of their critical inner voices, and are unreachable behind a fortress of their own creation. I have compassion for these people, because in some situations, and given certain circumstances, that blocked person can just as easily be me.
I send love to the people who don't get me, and reassure myself that I don't have to take it personally.
