Practicing love without practicing wisdom is something which has escaped me. In this case how does one practice love by being comforting yet not being honest? Coming from my healthcare point of view, I know all that could go wrong. So I can't in good conscious say that everything is going be ok in her terms of what she deems as ok. Sure I can say that all will be well from our point of view because we aren't as attached to the illusion. But to someone who's truly afraid of dying, all will be well doesn't necessarily cut it ya know lol.
Sooooo, I know I can say stuff like "we are here for you" but outside of that, am I supposed to lie simply to bring her comfort?
I've always been about the why's, the logic, the practicality, the reason. Yet there are certain situations where this is easier for me. Take the whole vegan meat eater debacle. I'm perfectly ok accepting the realization that I won't ever understand the point of view of a vegan and that's OK to me. I guess in this instance, it doesn't directly involve me so I can simply let it go
When confronted with something such as emotional issues where most, from my point of view, are counterproductive, they captivate me as to the reasoning behind them. I wish I could understand the need for these emotions but my logical mind takes over. Maybe it's simply because I'm not phased by many issues where emotions would normally override ones balanced point of view anymore. I'm just able to simply see the situation and go with the flow.
