Life without the Drama

Life without the Drama

Our lives often are as full of drama as are soap operas. People who have friends and family (which is virtually everyone,) are often involved with some sort of internal affairs, whether they are conscious of it or not. I'm not going to tell you to not have friends or family, but I will say this: we are creatures who often obsess over the life of others, and sometimes neglect our own. Do not follow this path: your life is more important than others, in a personal matter of speaking. We should not gossip, as we hurt others this way. Often, a person who indirectly hurts others is the worst kind. People do not like friends who spread their personal problems and secrets to others. We are more than people who are busybodies: we are human.

How do we prevent drama? We have to not cause or incite dramas ourselves. This is more difficult than it sounds. We are naturally inclined to be vain. As bad as it sounds, an unenlightened human is one that often revels in comparing themselves to others. This is natural for many people. To eliminate drama, we must eliminate it from ourselves. We do not need to give into our own needs to feel secure. One who is truly insecure will find comfort only in having complete equanimity (peace of mind, one of the four sublime states.)

Drama should not be part of life, as it is always counterproductive. However, when we have such things as lovers and friends it is often hard to do. Face it: when we feel strongly about someone or something and get our feelings hurt we often express ourselves in a dramatic way. I suppose there is nothing wrong with human emotion and behavior. In fact, emotions such as compassion and love are always a good thing. However, when we fail to express our emotions in an appropriate fashion, we often become swallowed up by our heart. It really Isn’t good to get lost in an emotional moment, but, heck, isn’t that part of living? I personally am locked within my heart, a album of snapshots of my emotional life. Life is good for me now, as I feel I can slay giants.

Is this life what you want it to be, or are you constantly seeking attention and involved with drama? Are you happy with your life? I hope that you are, as I care deeply for each and everyone of you. My heart is always with you, and I know just how hard it is when our hearts become broken. You must look at things in a positive way. There is so much to life that you can explore in a positive, solitary way.We have an outlet no matter where we are, and some people turn to the internet. However, we must make sure to not post negatively online. If we believe there is any less drama online, or our freedom of speech is respected with each and everyone of our posts, then we are badly mistaken. Be careful of what you post online, bad karma returns to us no matter where we are.

I am glad we are loving, beautiful beings. We have so much to offer this world and each others. We must be careful of what we say to others, as it is not worth it to engage in idle talk and any behavior which may cause us to hurt each other (or ourselves.) Be strong, and rejoice that we have friends, families, and lovers, as we are a unique breed in the universe, one of emotional existence. Love all.
