Can you spare your world from your righteous indignation & faux outrage…

Today I wish you to know that just because you’re an adult doesn’t mean you’re mature or grown up. Growing up means being patient, holding your temper, cutting out the self-pity & quitting with your righteous indignation.

Why do so many people seem to love righteous indignation?

Darling listen – it is mostly because if you can prove you’re a victim, all rules are off. You can lash out at anyone anytime. You don’t have to be accountable for anything. It actually entitles you to the idea that you are far better than everyone. It also entitles you to be cruel & vindictive.

A person behaving self-righteously, thumping their chest, brandishing their finger, proclaiming their rightness over all others actually inflict pain & suffering on everyone.

Some of us carry accumulations of years in our bodies all the time & remain so obsessed & consumed with our grievances that we can’t get away from ourselves & think of things out in the today’s light. We mostly remain in the grip of that blinding, destructive, terrible thing — righteous indignation.

Sweetheart, it is not bad at all to realise & respect your feelings of righteous indignation, but if you allow that emotion to come out as ridicule, anger & judgment every time you see & speak to your people without thinking of occasion & place then obviously it is going to hurt, wound & tear your own people.

No matter how right you are in your anger or annoyance provoked by what is perceived by you as unfair treatment, it is still your responsibility to contain your emotions with self-control & to carefully express yourself by censuring your thoughts, expressions & words. Rather than scolding, take responsibility for what is bothering you. Tell the person in private what you need & allow the person to choose how to respond. Scolding doesn’t heal, it wounds. It doesn’t feel good afterward to you also because it isn’t the right thing to do.

Sweetheart, before you speak, learn to contain your emotions, add love & compassion in your tongue & eyes, direct your thoughts & choose your words to speak truth, if necessary, in a way that respects the dignity of the person, occasion, place & your loved ones.

I wish & hope that one day you will begin to spare your world from your righteous indignation & faux outrage… Blessings for your perpetual happiness, good health & success 💐
