A great person - Why we often cannot recognize the good within us anymore

A great person

 

Within you there is a great person.

Within you many gifts and talents

lie dormant.


Within you there is a lot of love.

But why do you not feel any of it?

Why don’t you notice it?


It is really simple:

You have trashed up your heart

with wrong decisions

and bad habits.


Now not only does

your conscience accuse you,

but those surrounding you as well.

And by now you accuse yourself.


Endless feelings of guilt

about all the evil you have done

do not let you rest.


Anger begins to control you

because you are no longer able

to be merciful to the other person.


Impatience characterizes your life

because you always think

of the fast profit

and are longing to be happy again.


Envy towards everyone else

who you perceive is doing better

than you begins to eat you up.


All those things quickly

turn into bad habits

and are like chains

that hold you imprisoned

so that you will not be able

to recognize the good in you

any longer.


If you want to break the habits,

you then begin to realize

how much they have controlled you.

Before that you don’t even think of it.


It is hard work

to let go of bad habits

and a lot of will is required

so that in times of a crisis or boredom

you do not let yourself

be controlled by them again.


But once you have reached that goal

you start to notice again

that something wonderful

lies dormant deep within you.


Use your strength

and be committed to doing

what is good and right

and you will soon notice

that you will be given

a multitude of joy in return.


Only then can your gifts and talents

really begin to bloom.

Only then you learn step by step

to really be happy.

Only then can you love yourself anew

and your neighbor also.

Ecclesiastes 7:29 (The Israel Bible)

But, see, this I did find: Hashem made men plain, but they have engaged in too much reasoning.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
