I am what I am.

Ray 4#. I am what I am?

Do Human Beings really have a say in who they are being?
Or does our being arise from some unknown well?

It is your fault that I am angry!
He makes me sad.
I can`t help it, it is just the way I am.
They make me do this! 
I am irritated because of them.

We all know phrases like this, don`t we?
We know that they aren`t really true too. 
We say others are responsable for the way we are being. 
We give away the responsability over our being. 
And by doing so we give away the power over our being.

These outcries however do illustrate how common and accepted it is to give away the power over our being as well.

I think one only get angry if one believes that the nasty word that is thrown at you is true.
I believe somebody only gets sad if he/she decides to believe the painful words the other one utters. 
Or that it reflects an inner story to be distinguished.

Even if you lose something or someone dear in you life, you can choose how you grieve.

I`m a teacher.
Young kids are still a bit like little animals. They react primarily:

You bite? I bite.
You hit?  I hit.
You kick? I kick.
You too big? I run.

If you hurt me, I`ll hurt you back.
That`s nature, that`s instinct. That`s survival.
Useful in emergencies. 
Don`t think, just fight, flee. 
Or freeze.

I teach my kids in class that human beings are distinct from animals in one way.
We don`t have to bite, kick or hit back.
We can be angry but use our mouth to talk and say `Stop!`.
And if a child gets that, it has tamed the animal inside.
It chooses to be in control instead of simply being reactive, like animals.

And having a choice over our being, that is power, isn`t it?

Does it work or does it not work? That`s the question.

A new future. No more right and wrong.
