But I once heard a spirituality teacher say that the worst something feels the more untrue it is. That really resonated with me
At the root of our helpless feeling is a misunderstanding of what power actually is
I think we’ve mixed up power and control. Control gives us a false sense of security and power and allows us to avoid looking within to question some of our beliefs
We never have control over any person, animal, piece of electronic equipment etc. That’s why when a person or pet does something we don’t like or our computer is on the fritz we get upset, to varying degrees. It’s because in that moment our true lack of control is exposed, and we don’t like it
