Each of you has a story. You
stand by it ferociously. You will go to
great lengths to defend it, for if your story were not true to you, the ego
thinks, then what would you be? Who
would you be? It would be the death of
the ego to give up your story with all of its beliefs and labels. Now, understand that others defend their
stories just as fiercely. Is it your
business to change their story? Their
story is no more a reflection of the true Self than is yours. Have you yet realized fully just what your
true Self is? If you can observe the
other’s story with no judgment at all and laugh at your own, then you are
getting close. Until then, you might
relax and find greater peace by working on your own story alone.
