There are those

There are those
There are those we notice who make a difference in our lives,
what they do is important and affect us in different ways,
we carry them around inside our subjective experiences,
the way we perceive them and yes judge, believed to be real,
perhaps there is truth in what we think, at least in part,
yet why do others at times not agree with our assessment?
Some bring us pleasure, we like them, perhaps love them,
they can become friends, someone we can talk with,
also they have a certain power over us, for relationship
allows access to our inner world, what they do is important
if it relates to us.
Others bring pain, we don’t like them, certainly not love them,
they can become an enemy of sorts, someone we can’t talk to,
they to have a certain power over us,
whether we know it or not;
relationship,
even if negative allows access to our inner domain, so again,
what they do is important if it relates to us.
Again there are those we know in which we are indifferent,
they are just there, we can talk to them,
yet they have no power over us for there is no relationship,
they do not have access to our inner life, and so it goes
what they do is not important even if it relates to us.
We all fit the above categories for others,
some love us,
others find us irritating,
and yes many are indifferent,
none of the above are bad it is just part of being human,
yet those in relationship can cause us joy and pain,
it is the pain that causes problems,
Why?
Everything is taken personally, when it fact this is not true,
others or others, the why’s of what they do hidden,
our thinking we understand them folly,
do we even understand ourselves?
Forgiveness is the only way out,
to accept that others are the way they are,
simple,
and it really has nothing to do with us.
Those who irritate us are not doing it on purpose,
they have their ways, just as I have mine,
if my actions irritate,
it is not my intention,
often if I hurt it is not intentional,
we are not here to please one another,
love, yes,
but each is a mystery never fully understood.
So those we love,
and those we don’t,
each exist apart from my inner domain and judgments.
