I struggle with this general idea a lot. As in, what T and I were just talking about last week, I say to her sometimes "Why do I have to keep doing this difficult work on myself year after year, when it seems like everybody else I know gets to run around willy-nilly and not care about it?!"

And yet, what a better world it would be if a whole lot more people did do their inner work, whether it is with a therapist or not, maybe at least some of the systemic stuff could be resolved.
