“They blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.”
– Buddha
This Buddha quote reminds me of an Aristotle quote:
“There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.”
We live in a hyper critical world of insecure projections.
^This makes it hard for any of us to live.
Because when we go against the grain – when we don’t conform to how they say we should live – we get criticized & blamed.
The crabs in the bucket try to pull us back down into the bucket with them – for whatever reason – mostly fear.
But we weren’t meant to live in that bucket.
We we meant to live free.
We Are meant to live free.
So let’s do a little less blaming, and a little more living.
