we forget to fix ourselves. We can spend all our time helping family
members, running around, "sacrificing", while our own souls are weary,
discouraged and approaching despair. We can champion important causes,
or do vital work in our jobs, while we cover upor ignore wounds from
ourpast, until we cannot even look at ourselves with respect or love.
I suppose we all have our coping mechanisms. For me, it's martial
arts. When I'm troubled or unhappy, I tend to immerse myself in my
martial arts practice. It occupies my mind, allows me to forget my
problems, and wears out my body so I can sleep.
Others may plunge themselves into their work,or distract themselves
withbooks, music or television, or busy themselves with other people's
problems. But you can only keep this up for so long. If you don't face
what's going on internally, the darkness willeventually spread and
blot everything else out.
We have to come to terms with ourselves, or happiness will elude us forever.
