Power used for evil…
We all are gifted with power.
When we bless it within us as a propelling, life-giving, energizing force, we are elevated, we rise, and we bless others. When we curse it or are bullied into hiding it or are ashamed by it, after years poisoning ourselves with thoughts of emptiness and alientation, we are compelled to convince others of the same.
Those who have lost or squandered their gift will not recognize it as blessing in other people, and the expression is toxicity. We need not own it, and we need not feel bad for them.
The act of stepping away in blessing is sometimes the seed for new growth.
