Food For Thought: Loving the Troubled Soul
August 25, 2015
I was reminded again recently that life is short. Some of us live with the understanding that our lives are filled with lessons, some are joyful lessons and some are painful lessons. And, some of us live our lives forever chasing demons from our soul in the most self destructive of ways.
Today, I re-mind myself that no one can be helped that does not want help. Sometimes, the best you can do us simply hold that troubled soul in your heart space and send them love. And if, they leave this plane of existence leaving loved ones to question why, is it enough to know it was their time? Those are the questions we ask when they are gone.
I will not submit myself to blame for not being there, I understand that I loved as best I could without being a part of the drama that comes with the demons. I loved with acceptance and compassion, and prayers that that troubled soul would find their way through the dark nights of their soul and come to understand that life is a journey filled with lessons of both joy and pain. Happiness can not be bought, nor is it found in the mind numbing practice of substance abuse. I have loved the troubled soul as best I could. Namaste… Pamela
