As so many things in life, everything happens from our view point without 'innocent perception' which would allow us to see what is going on for others. That is okay as it cannot be any other way, the trick is to notice it and then stop. And not be too hard on ourselves, most of the time our heart is in the right place, with an untamed mind interfering. Thanks for stopping by. Love Wilma Hey Marion, fantastic comment on ‘help’.

I could relate to your experiences. Especially when your give three examples of 'help based solely on the giver's agenda'. I am going to think hard about my reasons for offering help. I have recently realised that my idea of 'help' is not what others are wanting. I am unable to offer the practical help that my loved ones require. I constantly think of 'how I can help' exhausting my energy and causing myself frustration and anxiety. I think I must now trust that life is full of abundance and that help will come to all of us eventually in some form or another. In the future I must be very careful not to offer 'help' without finding out exactly what the person requires and whether I am able to meet their need. 'Help' will no longer be the simple word I thought it was, but a word loaded with hidden agendas and motivated by hugely different needs and desires in both the giver and the receiver of help. As for computers .... I think I will turn mine off and take a stroll in the fresh air. Just read your intriguing blog and it has really made me think. I could relate to your experiences.

However I can understand that sometimes you want the computer to work at all cost. However you know me, I want it all. The computer to be fixed in a way that both serve ME and the computer.
