Whose Side Are You On?

There are many strongly opinionated personalities in my world at the moment. These persons are quite vocal about their opinions, and while I have stated my thoughts about things on occasion, I find that I’d rather stay quiet about most of the topics. Probably because the majority of those topics are others’ beliefs and actions.

Which got me to thinking: Whose side am I on?

I don’t do cliques well – to my mind, they can be blindly loyal to what the most vocal of the group thinks or believes. Lately it feels as if there’s a Victim of the Week game going on, and that feels like such a waste of energies. (Not to mention UNcomfortable.)

Does that mean I don’t commit, or that I have weak opinions? Or . . perish the thought . . two-faced?

NO!

Here’s what feels true for me:

I am on Higher Vibration’s side.

I empathize with those who are in pain, and wish to help them find their way to feeling better.

I cheer for those who want to change existing conditions for the better (ah . . what a subjective statement THAT is!)

When someone I care for does something that causes dissent or discomfort, yes I vent about it.

Yet, aren’t they acting from what they know, how they feel at the moment? Isn’t that itself something to be compassionate about?

And when someone I don’t really care for does something well, or nice or from the heart, that is also cause for celebration.

I am not wishy-washy or weak or indecisive. What I aim for is a connection to Higher Self, whether it be for me or another. Certainly not perfect at it, but it’s what I aim for.

I don’t believe in punishment – I believe in discovering the source of pain that caused the ‘wrong’ action and bringing a connection to Source into the mix.

I am on the side of High Vibrations.
