The Image You See
January 3, 2011
===================
God said:
You participate in life, and you observe. You are the watcher who watches yourself.
When you are angry, you believe someone has perpetuated anger upon you, yet anger is a card you deal yourself.
The most prevalent anger is vanity. Anger arises from ego and says: “How dare they? They can’t say this or do this to meor overlook me or disdain me like this. I won’t let them get away with this.”
This anger comes from your lack of sense of self. You insist that others must give you what you do not give yourself. Andso, when someone speaks amiss or acts amiss, you flare up and are sure thatothers have to retract their words or actions and turn their lack of regard ofyou onto themselves. You insist on this. “They can’t get away with this,” yousay. “They can’t take me so lightly. I am a person. They had no right.”
Yet you were the offender of yourself, and now you are the arbitrator of the others who did not give you the homage youmust feel you need so badly. You make a fool of your own self to right aperceived wrong. You make a fool of yourself and slip into a place of futileanger. You box with yourself in a mirror, and you are furious with the image yousee. You like to think you are standing up for yourself when it is your ego thathas perked up its ears. Ego whispers to you that you must defend yourself.“Retaliate,” anger says.
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Offense is also in the eye of the offended.
First of all, you do not need the regard of another. Regard or lack of regard don’t mean much. Both are a dime a dozen. Bothregard and disregard are illusory. Value yourself enough not to be caught up inthat which does not truly concern you.
And so, a customer service representative, for instance, who doesn’t know you at all, gives you poor service and so themisrepresentative of service, in your eyes, becomes your enemy. What does theirpoor service have to do with you that you take affront? Because they don’t knowbetter or bother to do better, what does that have to do with you who are only avoice on the telephone? That’s all the other is as well, a voice on the phone,someone sitting there and not doing a great job. Must you take it personally?Must you get up in arms? To what gain? Your anger does not show strength. Itshows weakness. Anger is your weakness, not someone else’s. When someone elsegives poor service, you do not have to give a poor return.
Shoddy service representatives, representing a company or representing themselves, are not the making or undoing of you. Whenyou flare up in self-righteousness, are you representing Me at all? How well areyou doing your job? How well are you representing Me?
Instead of lowering yourself, raise yourself. Instead of promulgating war, promulgate peace. You do not have tocontinue something that creates or continues strife. You are not loweringyourself to rise higher. Did you think you were?
You don’t have to continue on the phone with a customer service representative, nor do you have to hang up on them. You canget off.
I speak of customer service representatives because it is so easy to see that, truly, they have nothing to do with you. Whenit comes to those who are closer to you, the same is true, and yet it is harderto see. Nevertheless, others’ dissatisfaction is theirs, and yours is yours. Putdown your fists, beloved.
