With people skills we could all live together
Its time we all learned people skills…
how to connect, empathise, communicate,
accept differences,
adhere to and respect personal boundaries,
understand people are not things,
understand we are all responsible for our own stuff,
understand life is too short to sweat the little stuff,
understand we don’t stop learning until we’re dead,
understand that we are all ‘star stuff’,
respect give and take and that its not all about me-me-me,
take responsibility for our impulse control issues, and addictions,
get over our co-dependency, martyrdom, and victimhood,
get over our narcissistic fixation with being more special than others,
get over our greed, posessiveness and materialism,
get over our over identification with X or Y or Z,
get over our fear, pride, disgust, traumas and baggage,
get over our entrenched beliefs and rigidity,
get over our ‘them’ and ‘us’, our projections, our resentments,
get over our investments, stereotypes and labeling,
get out of the past, stop waiting for the future and live in the now …
then we could live together with anyone capable of the same.
