Turmoil

by YingYing

With all the turmoil in the economy, most people feel the effects in their lives emotionally, mentally and physically. The ripple effect of the economy affect us one way or another. However, most people feel the effects in their surroundings but they do not see the turmoil inside of them that had been there for a long time.

The turmoil has been inside of us since we were very young and it keeps growing. Yet, we do not see the inside turmoil that is affecting us every single day. We look at what is happening outside that is affecting our lives. We look at what other people are doing and how they affect us. We point our fingers at the people and situations that are making us miserable. You know what I am talking about¡Kthe husband, the wife, the kids, the job that goes nowhere, etc.

We constantly and incessantly blame other people or situations for putting us in the misfortune and misery we are in. Yet, we do not look inside of us for the answers that are affecting our lives. We feel the turmoil inside of us but we do not want to know that it is there. ¡§Oh, I do not feel any pain; so I am OK. It is the economy that is giving me the problems.¡¨ ¡§If my husband has not been eating so much, I would not have followed him and gain so much weight.¡¨ The list goes on and on.

We do not want to face ourselves and be responsible for our own actions. We do not want to know the truth what is really happening inside of us. We do not want to take the time to see what is inside of us. For my readers, I urge you to give (a gift to yourself) yourself the time each day to know who you are.
