Interesting question for someone very sensitive as me. Yes life can be a bit difficult and intense while being in this overstimulating world.
When you feel all the energies around you and a little bit too much loud music or too much coldness can send your nervous system into a panic is not great. That’s why it’s so important as a sensitive person to protect your energy. Your bubble. To find ways to calm down and reconnect to your own center.
I remember as a child, my mom always called the world: a big angry world which in Dutch is de grote boze wereld.
It’s true that there’s a lot of hard and awful things out there. Pedophiles, human trafficking, children being born just to sacrifice them, the dark web full of scary things, woman who are trapped in sex work, sex slaves, animals and humans being abused and how we are polluting the earth. Consumption that is out of control, children working, mine work where people are dying. Slavery that still exists. People being stuck in awful loops of bad karma.
A deep wound around our (for everyone) feminine energy where we are thought for the last 5000 years to push away our emotions and sensitivity. The world has become a hard and mean place.
Mother Earth who is crying and pushing storms, tornados and tsunamis. Which makes people homeless, injured or even death.
Horrible wars where people are suffering, with no food, with no safety, with cold and pain. Where others take innocent lives and create horrible karma.
Many many people in poverty who are struggling and can’t breathe well due to pollution of the earth. While there’s another part of the world that lives in extreme luxury and have more money then they’d be ever able to spend.
The contrast is extreme.
But then also the earth is beautiful. There are waterfalls, forests and mountains. Endless beaches and sunsets. Flowers and trees. The beauty of this earth is unbelievable.
The kindness of other humans goes beyond as well, how people help each other out and love each other like brothers and sisters.
Art is everywhere, people creating music and dancing together. Paintings, ceramics, weaving and other beautiful techniques. Each country has interesting stories and folklore to share that have been passed down through generations.
Love for animals and children, where we all smile when we see a cute baby.
Where we celebrate life in different events and ways together.
The way we can make a change as people who have the ability to do better. Choose consciously and help each other out.
The world is awful yet beautiful at the same time. Be the change you want to see in the world. Start with the person in the mirror.
You can make a difference, by remembering that earth is alive, that all humans, animals, plants and nature have the same creator. Be a kind person who remembers. Be thankful for all you have and all there is. Whenever we enter a supermarket which is full of food, whenever we go to sleep and are safe, whenever we get to enjoy the beauty of another soul.
We have to start, make a difference. Does your job have a positive impact on others and on Mother Earth? Do you actively participate in the creation of a better earth? What can you do to help? Be critical.
If not now, then when?
