I'm not an ox. I will not accept the emptional restraints that people want me to have any longer. I simply will not do it.
I'm not sure living a good/peaceful/happy life is about reaching enlightenment, but rather living it the way we want - with all options on the table for consideration.

I've often wondered that... if I simply choose to stay bound to the burdens of the past... Is it easier for me to be limited by the past, because I've lived it, I know it, my defenses are built to survive it...and as painful and unsafe that past was...it somehow seems safer than letting go of it....
could I simply look at my life now differently?... could I just accept that the past is in the past and it's only power is what I give it? could I take off the blinders that others have put on me, and see all of the options?
