The Truth About Angry Suits

Each of us carries with us a list of hurts and wrongs done to us wherever we go. This list is worn on the outside, right where anyone who knows how to look can see it. We may think it is invisible, but that's just another "notion" through which we protect ourselves. Over time this list of past issues hardens and becomes a shell that we hide behind. It becomes our Angry Suit.

There are a couple of odd things about this Angry Suit. One, as mentioned before, is that people who wear one think that no one else can see it, or at the very least sense it. Sure we're a little touchy, a little defensive, but who isn't? But as sure as a bear poops in the woods, the Angry Suit is a big shiny sign that says, "Watch out, I've got emotional baggage! I will lash out at even the most insignificant sign of insult, slight or disrespect!"

Another odd thing about an Angry Suit is that it always seems to attract attention. There are always those that want to fix you. There are always those that will, whether they do it on purpose or not, try to pick at it and see what reactions they can get. But the biggest thing is that Angry Suit wearers always attract other Angry Suit wearers. And they don't get along.

An Angry Suit can cause you to act in all kinds of counterintuitive ways. The whole point of wearing one is to protect yourself from further pain and hurt. But the Suit actually creates more of this, continually causing us to act in ways to perpetuates our suffering, rather than protecting us from it.

I wore one for years. It is so hard to see these realities, so lost are we in the unfairness of the world. The Suit tells us that everything is happening TO us, that nothing happens BECAUSE of us.

But I'll tell you something. We all wear one to some degree. All you have to do is admit it and see the Appearance for what it is, a lie we tell ourselves so we will not be forced to hold ourselves accountable for the state of our own lives and the choices we have made along the way. If you can see through this Appearance, and accept the Reality that we CHOOSE how we react and cope with the experiences we hop to and from in our lives, you will be ready to take off the Suit.

And when you take that Suit off, good God does your view of the world change! It's like taking off red-coloured glasses and see the colour and vibrancy that is the true Reality we exist in. Suddenly nothing bothers you anymore, nothing can unbalance your calm. People are nicer, love is easier and pain is an unpleasant memory.

So go on. See your Suit for what it is. And give yourself permission to take it off. Trust me, it'll be the best thing you ever do and it will be the first step to traveling a path of peace and happiness that will change you and your life forever.
