RE: Weekend-engagement topic week 48: Someone special

Ok, This might be a little bit different now. Someone special.

For the longest time I didn't think this person was special. Special in the meaning of worth being treated well, being recognized as who this person was. I was denying her values, I was observing her attempt to please others. I saw weakness. On the other hand I observed that person being strong and good-natured, idealistic. Still I didn't allow the person to be special too me.

I saw her value others and share love, I also saw her fail and hurt to an extend that I couldn't forgive. But I started to take a closer look and opened up towards her. That was when this person started to become more special to me. I realized that each one is special, every living being, every bit of existence. With this I understood that even the person I never valued much is worth being valued by me for who she is.

This special person was me.

Anna, there's not much else I can say here except thanks for opening up and sharing this and that I relate completely as will many I believe. Enough said.

Thank you, and yes you are. Special.

Thank you for your engagement on this post, you have recieved ENGAGE tokens.

Damn. I didn't see that coming. I think that is just an extraordinary look at a very special person. I think learning that lesson earlier rather than later is a really positive in your life.

Thanks for that. I really do appreciate it.

Hey thanks. Hmmm earlier than later, depends, took me 40 years and still working on it lol.

I think a lot of people pay attention to others rather than themselves. The hardest lessons learned these days are through looking in the mirror and being honest with what you see. To not lift yourself up above others or to think that you are better than anyone out there, or that you are less worth than anyone out there.

In the end everyone and everything is special, each in their own way.

Beautiful. 😍 I almost missed your response to this weekend's engagement. Everyone of us is special but do we realise this? I'm glad you do.

In a way, you remind me that I too, I'm special. Thank you. 🙂

Haha Don't worry. There are so many great comments here, missing out on things is just normal. I miss out on so much stuff and a couple days later I'm often like "Dang, how could I missed this?" 😄

I'm still in a learning process. Living in a society where certain values are not valued you can easily miss out on recognizing that everything and everyone is special. Realizing that, you don't lift yourself above others, at least not as much.

But equal and humans are two things hard to be put together. Our societies are driven on being better than others and that hinders equality for everyone. Change is needed in so many ways.
