Ego Tripping

I've been thinking about this recently quite a bit recently, of dark choices (murder, torture) and their role in the world. I was speaking to my girlfriend about it and she said to me 'it's less about the sadness of the pain and more about the joy of the healing.' It's true, there's been so much trauma that we've inflicted on ourselves in our history on Earth but as a result, there's so much healing occurring. It seems that no matter how much pain can be inflicted, there's an equal if not greater amount of healing and love that it leaves in it's wake. When I researched the history of torture, I found it interesting that the most painful forms eventually always became outlawed and not practiced anymore due to their 'barbaric' nature. It's progress but the type progress that is akin running on a slippery floor with oiled feet to get to the other side. You'll get there, but it'll take time and will have it's hard falls.

I like to think that perhaps we're moving (slowly) towards a world where we stop taking the painful detour to arrive to the love and the place we all want to be and will be eventually anyway.
