“He who can work in the realm of the real and live in that of the ideal has attained the highest.”-Ludwig Boerne
If you’re on a conscious spiritual path, you probably suffer disappointment and disillusionment on a regular basis. You may hold yourself to much higher moral standards than most people you interact with. You may regularly see people doing and saying things you would never do and say yourself. It’s natural to want to withdraw from life when it disappoints us at every turn, and while that’s okay at times, nothing is ever going to change if those who know better don’t step in and set good examples for those who have yet to find that higher perspective. Protect your energy as much as you need to, but instead of giving up on the world, recognize that sometimes when you’re the only one who can see that something is just plain wrong, you’ve been sent to try to make it right.
