Face it, not run away in sadness or grief.
Face it, not run away in sadness or grief.
Well-known author Extart Toll writes that when an ancient Greek philosopher was told that his son had died in an accident, his response was, "I knew he was not immortal." Is this a dedication? There are some situations in which this dedication seems unnatural, constrained, and inhumane. Even the talk of positivity here becomes futile.
Being detached from one's own feelings is not dedication. It may not be possible for you to accept the current in some extreme cases. But in dedication you get one more chance for it. By Knowing that what has happened cannot be done again.
Then you do what you have to do, do what the situation requires. If you are stuck in this state of acceptance you do not create any other negativity, any other distress, any other sorrow. You are then free from conflict in a state of non-protest.
However, the question arises as to how one can dedicate oneself to grief. Forget surrender for a while, when your grief is darker, it is more likely that you will run away from it without surrendering to it, the desire to get away from it is within you. However, there is no way to survive. The solution can only be found by facing the situation.
