The following is an extract from a discussion separate to the
normal discussion about spirituality but ended up being spiritually orientated
due to the way we react when we feel violated in some way. Being aware spiritually
certainly has it’s pluses.

Anything that disrupts
the balance in your life becomes a spiritual matter in that we are forced to
work on restoring faith in people, seeking forgiveness, peace & harmony in
life ...
As mentioned above, an
alarm system is a good investment - costly though if you cannot afford the service
...
I had my jewelry &
many other valuables stolen by both sides of our family during my husband's
funerary week ...
I pray alot & cope
w/my anger as best I can; its helpful ...
At this point, I live
with it ok - maybe once a year a reminder sparks a flame I have to deal with at
the moment ...
I see this as one of
those learning lessons that will be w/me for the rest of my life, so I will
have to make peace w/it during the course of my life ...
Only time will tell
when it will be resolved ...
Peace be w/you ...
Me
Family can test us out
to the max. I recently had a brother of mine wrong my wife & I after we
helped him after his separation, he even coaxed me into lying for him at one
stage which I'm so dead against.
What I do is accept my
anger & obvious hurt, it's human nature to feel like this, however I also
try to become aware of action reaction, push & pull. Is there a purpose to
reacting angrily & hurtfully to such actions? I don’t usually see a purpose
other than to make myself miserable.
My wife & I have a
saying, “it just is what it is when it is, it just is”. We feel hurt &
anger when done wrong too but because we accept it as being (it just is) we are
no longer adding to the action reaction, push & pull effect, to the best of
our ability.
Try not to judge their
actions & your reactions too harshly which is easier said than done, try to
remember it just is & you will find you won’t be suckered into a reaction
that isn’t doing you any good what so ever.
Much Blessings Zinga
