Should the sum of our existence be calculated by a small window of time or a few mistakes? Do you believe every good deed ought to be dismissed because of a few decisions?
We all do things that lead to disaster. No one was given an instruction manual or granted a good guide, we are all bumbling through life for the first time. Our existence is a challenging maze and the best we can hope for is a little empathy when we are doing something wrong. Unfortunately we are rarely offered love or empathy in these moments, especially in the age of cancel culture. Everyone seems ready to burn another person’s life to the ground over the slightest misstep. It doesn’t have to be this way; we can change how the world works by loving the souls around us. As massage therapists we must avoid cancel culture at all costs. Our spirit wants us to embrace peace, love, and harmony, because our purpose is to spread goodness, to promote health and encourage hope. We can change the world and make it a better place by giving love even when love isn’t being offered to us.
When we offer forgiveness it helps ease the ferocity of vengeance; it mutes the sharp edge of judgement; and reminds us we can learn from our mistakes.
