Many of us living in one day at a time recovery learn the reality of people are people. The difficulties of people being people is that we too are people and as people we live with the fragile, sensitive, and narcissistic demands of our own egos. We, ourselves, can be hurt or offended by people who disagree with or refute the reality of our self-perceived irrefutable knowledge and beliefs which are not supposed to be challenged in any way whatsoever. What we are soon to discover is yes, we are people aren’t we. If we are lucky our egoic irrefutable knowledge and beliefs teach us humility especially when we are wrong and in our humility we understand that people being people is a humbling journey. We then discover people who walk a humble journey are people with whom we would like to share our journeys with. Most of us often fall short of such humility but there are people who are just people who will pick us up when we fall and they will thank us for being people. People, just people, will see past our flaws and love us anyways knowing that they too are people just people. Our commonalities are seen more clearly in those we are akin with. We all learn to identify in our imperfection. It’s our humble reality. Peace.
