perception

As far as I can tell, my Tuesday, in addition to the past few days before it, was largely about perception.

How people see themselves. How others see them.

And how they view the world they are in...

THere is nothing WRONG with any of that, I suppose. But people have such skewed vision at times. Anorexia has taken over the world, but it has mutated.

Insterad of folks just thinking they are fat, they think they are stupid. They think they are bad. They think they can [i][b]PROTECT[/b][/i] people by avoiding them - but shutting themselves off.

Or they think that they do not deserve them. (If you think this is about you, it MAY be, but you are HARDLY the only one doing this! Trust me on THIS, okay?)

Big hint... you are wrong. You are wrong when you think you are not spart. You are wrong when you think you are not able. You are wrong when you think that people don't care about you. You are wrong when you think that you are not missed, have not been missed, WILL not be missed. You are wrong.

I quoted teh bible at another LJ person, in trying to explain to her that valuing ones self is REQUIRED, not merely optional.

What i failed to explain is that EVERY religion insists on that, pretty much, if you delve into it deeply enough!

What I cannot impress enough on you is that you ARE important NO MATTER WHAT you think. Whether your name starts with D, R, E, B, A, C, or any other part of the alphabet! (Hebrew, Greek, or ANY other alphabet included - and left to right or right to left; Top to Bottom or Bottom to Top!)

Oh - and you are more powerful than you seem able to see. Watch out world, when you figure it out!

Boy, will I be having a great laugh!

Meanwhile, I am going back to work on MY self-perception...
