The other day someone reminded me of a quote from ?A Course In Miracles? which goes something like: ?All human behaviour is either an act of love or a cry for help.?
Such pearls of wisdom are lost, aren?t they, unless they have some personal meaning?
Then yesterday I got upset with someone I?m very close to. I mean angry and hurt. In my heart of hearts I knew I wasn?t being rational or constructive, but in the heat of the moment it didn?t matter. I was right, darn it!
And then, as so often happens when you just release for a while, the answer fluttered in. That quote reverberated round my brain for a while, and then I asked myself, ?Well, in that case, I?m either performing an act of love or a cry for help. This surely doesn?t feel loving, so what is it I want help with??
As if by magic the pieces dropped into place. I went to this person and said, ?Listen. I need your help. I need not to feel like this. I know your behaviour wasn?t intended to hurt me, so I must have made up the hurt myself. But I?m kinda playing this loop tape in my head that you didn?t put there, but once I started it, for a while, it?s all I can hear.?
We reached a loving understanding in less than ten minutes. We are closer, bigger inside and enriched.
So here?s my tip for now, for this day and for always. If there?s anyone you?re upset with, even if it?s an old upset, ask yourself, ?What is it I need help with?? And then humbly and sincerely ask them for your help. Do it with your palms up and your head high, for you are bigger than your anger, and love and friendship are more important than your ego.
