Some people

Why is it that certain people can just rub us the wrong way?

Is it that we let them? Is it that we have something to learn from them? Do they mirror how we act and drive us crazy until we change how we act?

What if a situation like greed keeps popping up in our lives? People "taking" as though something was theirs without thinking that they should pay for it?

For example, the teachings of yoga, or anything for that matter.

Isn't it interesting that teaching is so highly regarded as a profession, yet so poorly compensated.

As a nation, we know, fundamentally that education is at the heart of our children's success and yet we continue to pay more to fund wars in Afghanistan than teach our children how to read.

And what about food?

Here we are, the most "civilized" nation in the world, and we can't even figure out how to feed, house, and clothe everyone.

There is a disconnect and I believe it starts with each one of us.

Where in your life are you stealing because you view someone as having "more" and you having "less"?

Where in your life are you stealing because you think someone "owes" you something?

Where in your life do you feel like you are so desperately lacking that you take what is not yours and rationalize it to yourself?

Where is the disconnect?

I have been working on my "money karma" recently. No answers, just more questions. --Charry
