I Am a Smartass

Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now:

“Whenever anything negative happens to you, there is a deep lesson concealed within it, although you may not see it at the time. Even a brief illness or an accident can show you what is real and unreal in your life, what ultimately matters and what doesn’t.

Seen from a higher perspective, conditions are always positive. To be more precise: they are neither positive nor negative.”

My smart-ass response:

It’s still bad. You’re just not allowed to call it bad.

“Differently good”, maybe? “Alternative good”?

Yes, I know I have an attitude problem, ha ha.

@SwampFlower If you read more of the book, it starts to make sense, and I can see the wisdom in it. But that little paragraph did trigger my inner rebellious teenager!

@SmartKat you should read Eric Berne to look at that aspect of your personality 😂

@SW-User Well, I am also allergic to bullshit. So, there’s that! 😂
