Perception

I have noticed that there is a threshold of tolerance for life's events and once that is reached, the wells of dejection and depression become very easy to fall into. Most if the time, it is people who don't support people in such cases. They feel that supporting will take away something from them. But the Universe gives more to those who give with a pure intention.
We say "man is not an island" when we refer to relationships. But it is equally true that the soul does stand alone on the earth, unfolding its, unfolding its own journey with some pointers and help from other souls here.
And yet, we gather so many insecurities along the way...about people being critical, people not liking us, people not wanting to socialize with us, isolating us etc.
Our perceptions can be really narrow. If we expand our thought processes, we will understand that, we are all like passengers on a train, travelling together in our own compartments, with those others who travel with us. When we arrive at our station, we disembark. Others carry on till their station comes up.
So, there are those who will travel with you, whether with good will or criticism. Both are necessary for the soul. If we can see everything and everyone around us as helping us in one way or another, the first emotion we will let go of is stress. Our challenge is not people but what they are mirroring in you.
