Dummy!
When you understand with absolute clarity something that someone else not only doesn't understand but they believe they've done everything possible TO understand.... and yet they just don't see the obvious, even if you try to show them, explain to them, guide them into some clarity... What is blatantly obvious to you, completely escapes someone else. No it's not plain for everyone to see what you see, no matter how simple it is. This is a testimony to the fact that people perceive and interpret life based on the way they are wired and the programming they've received and the patterns they've established by which they navigate life.
And THIS, to me, is obvious!
Why doesn't everybody see it???
If we understood this, we wouldn't judge, hate, criticize, and hurt other people.
I've struggled hard to show and explain and help others navigate thru things they don't understand....
Even people I love more than life itself.
But when they get so lost that they become frustrated and irritable and start to feel stupid or angry.... What can you do?
If it's a stranger, most people just start judging them, calling them names, and assuming they're idiots!
But when its someone you know very well, and love with all your heart..... You begin to EMPATHIZE. You begin to know that their pain is indeed real.
So you back the fuck off.
And you love them no matter where their understanding lies.
And it is a beautiful thing when you realize that this is enough.
It really is ok that they don't understand things.
Challenges in our lives that no one else can solve make us grow.
Love does not even need to be noticed or appreciated.
True love is just there. Always.
Until it is realized. No matter how long that takes.
It's ok.
