A friend wrote down her thoughts about coming out of the role of the victim and published them as an article on our website. It is in French but Ramona translated it to me and in one line she is asking: Is it a curse to be fragile or is it a quality to be sensitive? I think this is an appropriate question in this society and in the time that we are living in.
I also feel many times that sensitivity is not appreciated. But of course I think sensitivity is a jewel of human. Imagine if there was no sensitivity, if the heart was like a stone, then a person is not human but like a stone. I also understand what she means when she says this sensitivity makes you fragile. There is a big risk of getting hurt and injured because you are sensitive. Maybe that is why some people see this as a curse and those who are only living in the mind and in their head are afraid of being sensitive.
In this world of machinery there are unfortunately many people who are just fixed in their mind and live like programmed. They get less and less feelings and sensitivity. I am trying to encourage people to be more in their feelings and their heart to increase their sensitivity. It is not a curse, it is a great quality.
My friend Ann from Ireland has birthday today and she celebrated it here by sponsoring the food for the children.

I agree with Sugar (above comment). Sensitivity must be a balanced trait within us. We cannot afford to be too hard or too soft. Some people are naturally more or less sensitive. Once we understand ourselves and our own tendencies toward sensitivity, we can help ourselves to balance it. If your sensitivity always brings you negative feelings, try to be less sensitive. If your sensitivity brings you positive emotions, enjoy it!

Sensitivity is not a curse, just like all things in needs to be taken in balance. Some people need to learn to be more sensitive and others need to learn not to let everything impact them in such a big way.

it is very true that sensitivity is neither recognized or apreciated in many people. a lot of the time being sensitive is an invitation to be hurt. My sister has told me before that her sensitivity was a curse, it kept her always feeling sad and confused about the outside world. Now that she is older and has gotten rid of much of the fear in her life, the sensitivity is more o f a gift because the fear isnt crippling her anymore.

You have to accept your anger. It is a natural feeling, created by god. It is a negative feeling, yes, but you are not bad if you feel angry. It is there and you need to live it!
SourceSwami means master or owner and I believe that I did not give any religion or guru the ownership of myself. I am my own master and owner and in this way I believe there is nothing wrong if I keep the ‘Swami’ in front of my name. And if you are free from any foreign master, I would not object if you did the same.
SourceAs a person who does not believe in superstition, one sometimes has a difficult time convincing others that their belief is nonsense. You can try and put up the most scientific arguments but a really superstitious person will still not believe you. Nevertheless I believe that superstitions, just like religious belief in general, is in decline.
SourceDon’t teach them that they are worth less and stop placing a woman’s honour in between her legs! We have a lot to change! The idea that women are subordinates. The thought that women are easy targets and that only they can lose their sexual purity. And so much more!
SourceStop comparing yourself to others and be happy!
SourceSometimes the outcome is simply not in our control, so stop thinking about what could have happened if you had taken another decision.
SourceThere is no plan and nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. We can take our decisions and have to take our responsibility for the consequences. Nobody knows before what will happen if you go one way or the other.
SourceGod is love and love is God. The definition that you give for ‘God’ you can also give for love. God is infinite. Love too. There is no end and no limit. Love cannot be finished, it is simply impossible.
SourceGive time the chance to heal your sorrows, wounds and pain!
SourceWhen you change yourself, things start changing around you. It works!
SourcePlease do what you enjoy. Enjoy your life! It is too short not to enjoy it. And you can have the trust that even if you do not know what it will be good for in your future, if you stop worrying you will see that there will be the right thing at the right time for you.
SourceIf you leave all religions and just surrender yourself to love, you will be free of the feelings of sin and guilt. Love will liberate you. Choose this path and you will be free from fear.
SourcePolygamous relationships don’t really work. If you are really in love with someone, you will be jealous, you won’t be able to avoid that! If you love your partner, it is impossible!
SourceEnjoy your uniqueness, enjoy being you!
SourceSpirituality is very individual, not institutional. Even if you don’t go into a temple or church, you are spiritual, if you believe in love.
SourceReligion started as a tool to explain the inexplicable.
SourceAtheists say ‘God is only a thought’. But what is wrong with having a good thought?
SourceForgive and leave your anger behind. Remember that this is not an act of grace towards the other person but something that you are doing for yourself, too! Be in love, that makes it easier!
SourceAct with the knowledge of what happened in the past and with an idea of what you want to achieve but be in presence, be here and now.
SourceDon't schedule your baby like an adult but get inspired by your child!
