we may not know it from looking at our leaders, but we’re not obligated to act on our every worst or non-beneficial impulse. we don’t have to act out of fear, anger, or greed. there are no trophies for vengeance, just destruction & death. we can come to all that arises with practice, be the observer of our thoughts, of our emotional landscape. allowing thoughts & emotions to arise, & then fall away. we don’t have to cling to them or go in the direction they may lead. that allowing of space is an act of love, of generosity, & courage. ultimately, it demonstrates strength & a power greater than is displayed when we are reactive & act out without mindfulness or self-discipline.
