Sometimes we try to appease those who demand our energy through negative attention, and yet they continue what they are doing in the same way and seem not to be at all satisfied until we offer them more, and more of our precious life force. But do they really demand anything of us that we do not freely give? We are eventually forced to disconnect from their seemingly unreasonable demands ultimately backing off from them completely, but who is really backing off and from whom? We finally have relief because we are no longer being prodded and poked at, we may even think that doing so will cause them to call and apologize in a sincere way, but who really pays the price of our self-imposed isolation?
It was always our problem in the first place because everything we think for ourselves and believe is. The person or people involved are a gift to help us with the problem we are having with the reality that a belief is unreal until we ourselves believe in it.
