Would we not take it so personal?
Peace and Blessings.....

Songbyrd, if it is impersonal there is no person.....

Answer 1

This is a leading question you already assume the answer to. You are attempting to 'inspire' by way of realization through inquiry.
There is no 'person' anywhere and by the sound of your question you know that.
While it is definitely not trivial, it is absolutely undecipherable. We have no way of living as the impersonal life we actually are as to recognize that we are living as 'life' would be using the mechanism that creates 'person' to observe this.

We aren't living, we are life.

Answer 2

I had a friend that said to me that he was in this world but not of it. I always felt I was of this world but not in it. I tend to observe life and those around, but I don't normally take an active part.
If all of us took nothing personal, then there would be little if and day to day strife. However, that being said, what strife there was would be even more violent. People would wanted things, would take without care of anything that happened. "Hey, it's nothing personal." I think taking actions to me personally is a better way, then ignoring the hurt.

I personally believe in fundamental fairness. If I am third in line, I should be served third. If you are waiting for a parking place longer then I, you should get it. That is fair.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Liberating.

A magic day, a love that's magic.
