creating happiness

i think the people in our circle each contain a portion of our own personality the good bad and ugly appreciate the good like we would like to be appreciated and learn from and have compassion for the bad and ugly like we feel we deserve several years ago i worked with someone that was constantly irritating me with what he did and said one day i had a moment of clarity and saw that i did very similar things and said similar things it may have had a twist but the same type of issues i made it a purpose to look for myself in other people especially with those that frustrated lo and behold i could always find an aspect of myself in others when i come across it now i take it as a reminder and it humbles me when i think of how i feel when i act like those other people i instantly empathize with them allowing me to be more patient which brings compassion toward the other person who is actually me I

my view is this i think god or whatever youwant to call it we're all talking about the same thing is like a folded towel nothing else exists but the towel in imagining this not even the room around the towel exists just towel i see everything ever created as water in a pitcher when we pour the water onto the towel it all becomes one thing the water is the towel the towel is the water god is in creation creation is in god everything we touch feel or hear or experience has god in it even the neighbor you don't like even yourself
