Obviously I can't avoid confronting controversial topics all my life, so...there has to be some way of spiritually dealing with this phenomenon. I know I sound like a broken record in asking for advice on this particular topic...but my mind still works in ways not even I can fathom. If no one here can help me, that's fine, but...well, some tea and sympathy would be appreciated, at least.
Webimpulse, some of us are 'out of the ordinary' - I do not mean the gifted, I rather mean the 'not so gifted' - I do not see how much you perceive emotional lability as a handicap, going by your message, I presume 'very much', but I am also very much handicapped on other account of insufficiency related to personality - my problem is 'I talk very little' - and 'I am totally shy'. Given women are of the general trait of being 'endowed verbally', I tend to be the opposite - I am so defecient in the speech arena, even if someone talks to me, after a short time, I do not have anything to say! You can imagine how 'defeated' I feel.. I go to places crowded with women and all around me I see this pretty picture of 'women deeply engrossed in affairs of the world that sound oh, so interesting' when I'm all alone, given the additional fact even if I were to find someone to talk to, I'll have very little to say...
So I am here to offer to you just a few words of wisdom that I advice myself all the time - 'Not an atom moves without *his* grace'. All these folks that talk, are emotionally stable, are not 'great', they haven't strived all through their lives to 'acquire' that particular ability, if they seem happy with their personalities, that happened to them out of gift of god - they are ordinary, normal folks! Many of them are wasting away their lives feeling good internally about their circumstances and not thinking about god. So, even if having some personality defects, if that bothers us to think of god, to praise his glory in an effort to get better, we are, actually, much better than these ordinary folks! Again, I repeat, 'not an atom moves without his will' - so these are all ordinary folks, with ordinary gifts! Only those who strive, acquire something out of hardship are truly gifted, and those even more gifted than them, are those that sing the glory of god, even if be handicapped otherwise!
When I first saw the following picture, I jumped up not because I think this is so genuine and wise which it sure is, but I jumped up because "it was saying all I tell myself all the time"...
I hope you enjoyed what I had to offer, and I am truly sorry if I sound otherwise...
