Because of you it all changed. Because of you it became what it is today. I can not attribute it to you, it is what it always will be.
Polarity is what we use to measure all things. If not something, than its opposite. If not for the other end of the spectrum, arguments would not be so easy.
I have said countless times that people get married so they will always have someone to argue with, so they will never be void of an adversary. It is a really dark view of marraige, but humorously, I suppose there is some validity.
Getting back to the first paragraph, it is because of ourselves that all can be attributed. It is easy to think that things change because of something (causality), but in reality, it is our allowance of these changes that permission life to take a different course.
I suppose the notion of always replacing ‘change’ with ‘course’ could be its own post, but I will try quickly to open that up. Life cannot change. In the most obvious of ways, life, since it is a recognition of something in the present, how can one be so audacious to think that something happening is change. In fact, it is a differing course. Change would require foresight into what something ‘ought’ to have been. We are not equipped with any way to actually know this, so all attempts to do so are ego-centric and for naught.
So, we can only thank or fault ourselves for the world we live in. We can attribute things to lessons, people, happenstance or other ‘occasions’, but in no way can we put this responsibility on an outside source (outside of self). If we were reluctant to allow these course changes to happen, no external force would have a hand in the course we have/will take in life. It is easy to say, ‘well, because of ‘x’ I am now what I am’.
Honestly, we are ‘x’ because we allowed ‘x’ to happen. If we rejected the external element from having an effect on us, ‘x’ would never exist. It is something we inherently control.
So, it is because of you, that you exists in the way you see it. No more, no less. That being said, what in you do you like and want? What in you would you like to be different? Only you can make the change, take care to make the right one.
