The switch (acceptance)

You have to turn it on or off, depending on what you want. I guess that's why I love how Norwegian expresses it 'slå på eller av' that is 'hit it on or off'. Because it might actually feel like you hit it hard and so it might hurt. But there's no-one else who can do it for you. And that's the reason why; it's you, and so it's your and only your choice. Hence the misunderstanding; it's your life.

Think about it. You're a part of all this that you can see and sometimes can only feel around you. It's all that there it is, and you are just as much as everyone else, and everything else is, a part of it. No exceptions. Once you can accept this, you also are, and really, truely are a part of it. Until then, you're like a switch in off position; you want to hold back something that has never been yours, or you don't want to take something that will never be yours, just for the chance to experience it.

There are no such things as bad and good stuff. Things we can physically see or touch - nice or ugly, round and smooth or edgy that leave marks on us - are like those that happen; they might feel fine or they might hurt. But they're all part of the whole, like everyone of us, whoever has been here and will be here. As time is also only a part of it all, just like space.

We can choose to hurt and worry, but then we can't blame it on the circumstances, as it's us who are doing it, but for ourselves, and no-one else. So, it's our choice and decision to accept everything, and let it go, or keep it.

Just like to believe that keeping things that make us feel good or wealthy or healthy, and so on, would help us. Think about it, they didn't belong to you before, and when you're not here, they won't be yours anymore. So, how you can you believe it for a single moment that you are possessing anything at all? But if you read this, one thing is for sure; you are.
