The absence of drama is not peace

The struggle in countering the influence of a village of idiots will never be truly appreciated until we experience the impact of the dysfunction that it produces in our lives.

That impact usually only becomes evident when we’re facing upheaval that challenges any sensibility that we may rely on about life.

Parenting is largely a lost art with the opportunity to outsource a large chunk of it to social media making it easy to ‘cope’ in that way.

Losing ourselves to our own struggles that rage in our minds blinds us to the impact of our obliviousness to those around us.

The absence of drama is not peace, nor is it wholesome family time.

That is what social media and social distractions offer us. The absence of contention or conflict.

That’s how we lose sight of the values that we’re imparting without meaning to, because on the one hand, we’re validating social media as a legitimate source of learning how life works, while also confirming that such an approach to parenting or to sharing life’s moments and wisdom is all that we have available to offer.

We have greater impact through what we don’t do than what we do.

Unfortunately, we’re mostly too distracted by needing validation for what we do that we lose sight of our abdication of accountability for what we should do more of…or just what we should be doing in the first place. Period.

Our demons that distract us from what others need from us destroys more relationships than any real conflict that exists between two people.

Own your life before you end up destroying someone else’s.
