learning to unlearn

When I was a kid I was told to be nice and say yes to others. Now I’m learning to say yes to myself first.

When I was a kid I was encouraged to look at the stars and be mindful that “God” made humans a crown of its creation. Now I look back at the sky and realize that the idea that people are the centre of it all is a cosmic joke.

When I was a kid I was commanded to love my enemies. Now I am learning to recognize that I don't have enemies in the first place.
