What It Means To Be Blessed by Nobody: 12:31pm On Feb 28, 2015 |
Today I want to look at the real meaning of being "blessed" Are you truly happy or lying to yourself?? It seems like in California, whenever you talk to someone who has absolutely nothing going on in their lives, they start telling you how blessed they are. “I'm just so blessed to be able to be sitting on my porch today, enjoying such a beautiful day.” Blessed? Is that another way of saying, “Hey, I'm too lazy to find a good job. I'm happy to sit here and do absolutely nothing all day long and consider myself enlightened?” The most confused people speak like that. In Los Angeles I have met so many women who are yoga instructors, and they always tell me how blessed they are to lead their lives. I ask, “Do you want to make money?” “No,” they say, “I lead a blessed life, that's all I need. I don't need material things. I'm going to have purses without leather, because it a blessing to save the animal.” They seem like the most confused people I've ever met, but they'll tell you in a heartbeat how blessed they are. They feel blessed because they don't have to compete in the world and make ends meet. And they're blessed because they still have a few more years of looking good and maybe some man will fall for them. Maybe some man will give them a blessed life of living in a nice house and not a crappy one- bedroom apartment in West Venice. The terminology of “the blessed” is vast. A blessed person will never look at you and say, “You know, I feel really blessed today, I've made a lot of money and have a lot of great friends.” A blessed person would simply say, “Today's a great day.” They won't tell you how blessed they are, how they appreciate just a little bit of sunshine. Well of course.You're flat broke. You have nothing else to appreciate except a little bit of sunshine that comes into your life every single day, because it gives you a chance to escape your lame reality. I don't know, maybe I've lived in California too long. Maybe I just need a taste of the real world, but I'm getting really tired of “the blessed people” who live out here. The way they talk about the beautiful weather on a regular basis and how appreciative they are of living in a place that's so beautiful. Have you ever driven around LA? Sometimes there's so much traffic, when you finally do see the “blessed” buildings around you, you think to yourself, “Did anyone think about urban planning?” They put up one ugly building next to another. With no consistent design except a lack of design. The neighborhoods are so congested; the property value is overpriced. So many people here are just full of BS. So called “blessed people” I've found to be narcissistic. They always talk about how blessed they are, but it's all about them, all about their blah, blah, blah. But they never really include anybody in that blessed dream of theirs. |
