These experiences are quite intense indeed. We need to have them and I'm glad that you are in a better place in many ways. A lot of people encounter these situations and don't know what to do or how to react and that's okay but sadly many never get back from that point to a better one. It sounds like you've gotten to a better point which is great!
I know that we can only drop what seeds we can for people to either pick up and plant themselves, eat and shit them out or just ignore them altogether. I myself have certainly yearned for someone to bestow all kinds of knowledge on me and have sometimes had that but until you come to something yourself it's hard to really appreciate some stuff.
I'm with you on not being able to open the vault that's our mind because people aren't open minded (pun intended :D) for many things so we just keep to ourselves. Sometimes its gratifying to say "well, look at that I was right" even if it's a fucked up thing lol
Thank you @cmplxty.
This happens with people, self-imposed, all by the individual's choice.
Very funny way to put it. It's up to others what they choose, all one needs to do is focus on growing oneself, what others do with seeds and the like, it's all on them what they decide to do. Most definitely direct experience is the best teacher. That said, there are no limits on what one can learn every day by being present in the moment, developing self-awareness, and being an observer of what one thinks, feels, says, and does every day. Excellent learning and growth opportunity through such a practice.
LOL, I used to think that way until I saw my ego clearly and lost the need to "be right" and point that out to whatever situation. I keep my focus on my own internal house cleaning, otherwise, I might just start firing out orders like I have authority over others, which is laughable.
