that you attach to burdens which can easily be dismantled at any time, you choose. You must determine the boundaries of where genuine duty falls. Duty is singular and self-serving. You are never administering duty on the behalf of another. You and only you can call the shots for duty’s path of allegiance. When you have openly placed yourself in a situation where a so-called unpleasant person, whom life has not severed from your space, realize that valuable lessons can be gained should you be so inclined to witness the messages offered. When the spiky lessons have been obtained satisfactorily, the person will vanish from your eyes. So, don’t be so insistent in trying to get them or the circumstance removed for your ease unless you are at that indomitable ruthless place of truth in action whereby you dismiss the person, event, circumstance as not registering with you altogether. .
Do you feel your personal space has been used indiscriminately? Do feel invisible to the other? Are your personal needs being undervalued? Does the other color the conversation with his/her obsessive use of the word “I”? Do you feel the need to assert yourself when in the presence of certain people? Incidentally, how can anyone hold you back from what is rightfully yours? It is solely because you have made yourself too accessible for egoistic reasons, (addicted to the drama of being special) that you find yourself in the awkward situation. Your individual desires are not a burden unless you subject another person to them forcibly. When the established facts indicate that your personal plate of experiences is more than you can say grace over, it’s time to clean house. Turn the tables over. Remove the thieves from the premise. Guess where the premise exists?
