Seeming Injustices
I’m struggling lately with things that are going on at work. The circumstances I am referring to are typical corporate ways to handle problems. See a problem, and then figure out the quickest way to make it go away, since we don’t have time to fix the root problem because it involves way too many business functions and processes.
Okay, so now that the ego has spoken, I know I cannot respond in the ego fashion. I realize that retaliation does not work and doesn’t even feel right. I know that any message I convey needs to be for the good of all concerned. Which means I can state my concerns and not wish harm on anyone else.
When feeling like folks are out to get you, it is hard to stay in the place of safety, the place of healing, the place of security. The ego wishes to say, “Save yourself since no one else is going to save you. Get yourself covered first, before they act.”
So I continue to pray about how to handle the situation. I also pray that I understand what my role is, when to act and when to wait for the situation to rectify itself. Since not everything needs to be solved by my “doing” something.
And lastly, I cannot be attached to the outcome. It could be the outcome looks bad, it could be the outcome looks good. I do not know all the pieces, and so therefore cannot see the entire outcome for everyone involved. I can only see what I know, and I know I don’t know everything. I may never know all the pieces.
So, as I struggle still with the outcome of this situation, I pray that all be healed in this process. I pray that we realize we are all one, and when we hurt another we really hurt ourselves.
