Here's an interesting one .. I am reading several books currently, and in particular one about the first Geological map in the world, the second about science .. both talk about this phenomenon.. Consider that time as we know it extends from one end of our right arm to the far end of our left arm when your arms are raised. A human lifetime comprises the slightest nail filing, the life of Jesus is apparently half way across our right palm .. puts time in perspective doesn't it!
It challenges us all. We all face up to it. We all tackle it. We all shy away from it. More important than that is how we face up to ourselves. Being honest with yourself is not as easy as it sounds, and it is often the cause of significant angst and negativity. It is always easier to blame someone else...rather than be honest about what we have committed ourselves to doing. Trouble is, it is a slippery slope!So, maybe the answer is to yield - to accept ourselves for who we are, and act accordingly. We make mistakes, we make the wrong decisions - the important thing is to be totally honest with ourselves and others and accept that sometimes, we have to admit that we have taken a wrong turn or made the wrong decision. Hiding from that is not good, it cuts across our ability to love ourselves for who we are.
