WE AVOID MOTTLED POTHOLES THAT CAN NEVER BE FILLED – “[O]ur best thinking and self-will are what brought us to a state of despair and incomprehensible demoralization.” “[B]ecause we had never really taken any action towards realizing our goals, we got loaded and searched for an unfeeling, uncaring oblivion.” (Life w/ Hope, p. 32)

Georgie Porgie

Georgie Porgie was a cheeky little boy. He liked to tease people especially little girls.

One afternoon, he went to the park near his house. He found a little girl and tried to kiss her. The girl cried and sobbed because she did not like Georgie.

Then, some boys came to the park and saw Georgie chasing after the girl. They shouted and laughed loudly at Georgie. Georgie stopped chasing the girl and ran away feeling embarrassed. Thereafter Georgie hesitated to play with his friends because he remembered his embarrassment that he faced in front of his friends. This incident prohibited him from chasing girls thereafter.

    Demoralization, that’s a word and behavior I try to avoid. And still there are times when I have experienced it, generally around my own self dissatisfaction when I know I could have done better. I internalize, so the idea of lashing out at someone else is very foreign to me. The damage I do is internal.

    The Dali Lama talks about internal disarmament, it is a term that is not often used in western culture. Yet I find that every war that I personally fight, starts and ends within.

    Admittedly, I am not particularly found of this question, it brings a feeling of uneasiness. In my program, staying positive, focusing on things that improve my life and surroundings consistently bring fruit that nurtures me and keeps me totally out of the space that would add to demoralization.

    It is in my dis-ease, the addict behavior, where that world even exists for me. It is a term that, for me, represents a loss of humanity when positive behavior is lost and one gives into selfish inhumane behavior that is untoward.

    While hardships, challenges and obstacle always exist, I find that focusing my thoughts and energy toward self betterment and moral behavior, keeps me far away from its opposite.
