Greetings Dear Reader,
I have lived with pain in my right shoulder since March of
1978. It subsided for the first time
last year when I injured my left shoulder.
Please do not hear this as a complaint. It is information that is
foundational to this discussion.
This is short and simple.
If I am to remain compassionate about the physical pain of others I must
fight indifference. When my heart is in
the right place the discomfort or pain of others always impacts me. I remember to use my discomfort as a reminder
to be compassionate.
When my heart is centered on my own woes I forget to be
compassionate and am indifferent to others.
I have trained my mind to think of others when my own pain rises. I have trained it to consider their pain in
the midst of my own.
The lesson I need to remember is that if I do not plan to
fight indifference then my pain will cause me to be indifferent to the pain of
others. My own anything must not keep me
from seeing and caring about the needs of others. It is a constant war that requires constant indifference.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
