Fix
My cousin called me the other day ~ Blah , blah , blah , blah , blah .... She spent 2 hours telling me all the things wrong with her husband . I decided there is no one , no matter how loving , kind and patient , who could fill the hole of dissatisfaction in her life . She is so convinced that if she can simply “ fix ” her husband and make him the “ right ” kind of person , all her unhappiness will come to an end .
My cousin demonstrated that unhappy ppl have an uncontrollable urge to interfere in the lives of others . This is specially evident with loved ones .
But to fix , control , push , and make others into what you think one should be , is not love . Yup , love doesn’t do any of these things . Love offers support and encouragement when one WANTS to change but it resists the temptation to try and change others.
So I told my cousin get her eyes off all that is “ wrong ” with her hubby , coz if she refuse to accept others as they are her misery will only continue indefinitely .
Yup , we should all focus on what we can improve about who we are . Give ourselves , and the imperfect world around us a break !!!!!!!
