Have You Ever Had A Thought That Others Don't Understand?

Have you ever had a thought. A thought that makes perfect sense in your mind, however once you go to speak it, you can't seem to find the words to make it make sense? Seems like a strange question right? I get it. But I'm also fairly sure that some of you understand this feeling.

I often have thoughts like this. Thoughts that make perfect sense to me. But are very hard to put into words for someone to understand. Have you ever heard the word and or term "Enlightenment"? Maybe you're familiar with it and maybe you're not. If not, it is the action or state of attaining or having attained spiritual knowledge or insight, in particular (in Buddhism) that awareness which frees a person from the cycle of rebirth.

Clearly not everyone is enlightened. However I think that it is possible to tell when someone is closer to enlightenment than others. I can't exactly explain it. (One of those things that's hard to put into words) But you know it when you meet one of these people. Sometimes I feel like I'm a little bit farther along this enlightenment journey than some. Please bare in mind that I'm in NO way bragging. I mean, maybe I'm not any farther along. Bragging is not at all what this is about. I just mean that I feel and think different than most mundane people I interact with. Maybe that's why I don't feel the need to have many friends. I have a lot of people who want to hang around / be around me. And sometimes I'm okay with that. But I don't have a need to be around friends all the time. I'm happy with myself and my wife. I enjoy quiet peaceful moments. I don't use social media, I'm not a gamer, or a phone junkie. I just don't feel a need for it all.

I have conversations with people, listening to their problems, issues etc. I often find myself confused why these things are issues for them at all. Why does something that someone else is doing, that has nothing to do with you and causes no harm to others, why does this cause you concern, worry, jealousy, anger, etc? Why is being genuinely happy for someone so hard for some? Why do so many people feel the need to control what other people do? So many people decide the way they want to live life, and decide that their way is the only way. These people then tend to judge everyone who steps out of the box they have created for all.

These things are what I have never been able to understand. Some of you reading this will completely understand where I'm coming from. And some of you will read this and think I've gone off my rocker lol. That's okay.

This is why I feel the need to have such a small group of people in my life. This is why I feel the need to just turn off sometimes. Go back in time in the only way we can. By finding simplicity in our life. But trimming the fat so to speak. Getting rid of whatever isn't serving your life in a positive way. Peace is what it's all about. I leave no space for drama and outside noise in my life. And maybe that rubs some people the wrong way. That's also okay.
