Some People Say I “Think Too Much.”
By: Chelsea Marie Mauger
Some people say I think “too much,” I say, “some people don’t think enough.”
When this comment is said, it is usually accompanied with a scoff, an eye roll, a lip curl, a demeaning undertone, and a quick about face, as they turn to storm off.
BUT…
I don’t take offense to it.
I just get really, really curious.
You know how sometimes you try to have a real life genuine heart to heart conversation with your pet (your dog or cat for example) and as you are talking, they just kind of get this “look” and they tilt their head, with their furry ears raised and they look at you with those soft endearing eyes and that oh so obvious question of “Que Pasa?” written all over their face?
Yeah… well… that’s kind of like me.
That’s how I get.
I’ll just look at you with a look of “what are you talking about?”
… “What exactly do you mean?”
Then I immediately begin to think, “what has happened to YOU to cause YOU to have such a negative opinion of me, or of the situation, and how come there is such a limited point of view here???
It’s funny, because it has taken me many, Many, MANY years to realize that it’s not actually about me.
It has NOTHING TO DO with me.
Their sarcasm, their scoff, their hate, their disgust, their taunt or anything else of a negative nature that we are on the receiving end of has Nothing To Do With Us and Never Did.
Wait,… What!?
I KNOW!!!
It has nothing to do with us.
It’s a mind blower, really… isn’t it?
I mean, at least it totally blew MY Mind when I finally, really understood it.
Their behavior ISN’T because I HAVE some how offended them by just simply being here on Earth.
It isn’t because I EXIST, so therefore, they HAVE to not like me.
It isn’t because by being present in this moment in this very given place in time, they all of a sudden then wish ill will on me.
And… it isn’t because I looked at them funny, or weird, or for any other made up or magical thing that occurred in an alternate made up reality that neither of us can remember anyway.
It is absolutely None of these things.
Their reaction is IN reaction to a perspective and/or opinion that has been shaped, or re-shaped throughout their own lifetime, their own life experiences, their own preconceived opinions, expectations, and assumptions of and about other people, and the lessons or lack there of that have been instilled or Not instilled in them in their own time here on Earth, no matter how moral or immoral those lessons may be.
Yes…
It has taken me a very, Very, VERY long time to fully and truly realize that it has absolutely nothing to do with me.
Counter intuitive right?… considering their action and reaction is being PHYSICALLY sent to US in OUR direction.
I guess I just figure everybody out there in the world just has SOME amount of built up energy and emotion waiting, and wishing, and demanding to expound, and so they just need a place, AN-Y-PLACE for it to land.
They essentially need a crash pad.
Now, does this mean that I think that it is right… that it is appropriate.. and that WE should have to be their crash pad???
Oh, No. Ab-so-lute-ly Not!!!
But… it can make us look differently at the situation, or any given set of situations.
I mean, in all reality, it is actually kind-of sad when you think about it, because they have been living in a box.
They have been living in a really, really, really small box, with a very limited perspective and world view.
They just haven’t been freed yet to roam around in the beautiful green pastures of life.
No wonder why they seem so restrictive.
They have been pent up, crushed up for far too long.
No wonder why it seems like they can’t move.
Amazing!
I mean, it actually wouldn’t even surprise me if they harbored some sort of hidden jealousy towards us, and to think… we spent all this time worrying and wondering what WE did wrong and why they hated us so much.
Funny, isn’t it?
