homesickness and pain

[norral]

i agree ruth . it isnt that i have forgotten my mission here. its just that sometimes i am overwhelmed with anger at the pain that i see on this planet which is obviously so very unnecessary and only caused by our disconnectedness to others. my battle is to not let this anger make me bitter to be quite honest, it most certainly could . even lao tzu , the writer of the tao. left society because he couldnt take the lack of love he witnessed. and he spent the rest of his days in isolation. so this is a problem that spiritually aware people have had for a long long time. for me the best thing i believe is to let my anger be transformed into an intense longing for union with god. which is what i am most definitely feeling. when we unite with god its not that all the pain doesnt exist anymore its that we are filled with such a deep deep peace that we are able to deal with it . just my thoughts.
