I’m enjoying this series on what’s wrong with ‘wrong’ very much. For a while now there has been this realization which sounds counter-intuitive that ‘mistakes’ I make and ‘mistakes’ other people make are not necessarily ‘wrong’ but open the door to a greater connection …. and greater appreciation … it’s what makes us human and it’s more our imperfections which help us connect in a more real way …. Yeah, it’s like being perfect isn’t all it’s cut out to be …. and the higher the pedestal and longer the fall ….
which might be one of the reason I like this quote from George Takei (Mr Sulu) so much … the floor reminds me a bit of God actually, come to think of it …

As you may remember , I have had problems with equating a benevolent Creator to the misery and cruelty so prevalent in this world. but i have come to see it as part of a pattern that contributes to the whole, and consequently my own problems that might have loomed larger have become small in the perspective of this world. certainly we can accept the serendipity of the good that comes from our little trials( which seem so big to us sometimes)But as you say”‘Our time is now”and “we are grateful for the
circumstances of our lives ” which make us the most blessed people on this earth.

“The things I label “wrong” serve a useful purpose in my life. The more I am able to attend to the role “wrong” can play in my growth as a person, the less I will be inclined to see things as “wrong”.”

Saw this this morning….now don’t just rely on the transcript, you must watch, you get his authenticity. It is short.
