Being pitied makes us feel not only insignificant and powerless but also subtly shamed. While it’s natural to want understanding and emotional support from other people, we need to see how clearly different these feelings are from pity. ~ Casey, Karen. A Life of My Own: Meditations on Hope and Acceptance (Hazelden Meditations Book 1) . Hazelden Publishing. Kindle Edition.
Have you felt you were pitied?
When you willingly accepted
a situation you knew well,
one that you had considered leaving
or perhaps did? Have you felt pitied?
Did it make you feel not only insignificant
and powerless but also subtly shamed.
Did we misread it? Was it really compassion?
Did you figure it out? How does that make you feel?
How can you grow from your understanding?
