back-chat at work.

I had a back-chat today about a colleague of mine at work.
Were talking and i asked him how his weekend was, and he said it was fine, he was in Belgium visiting his family. And this guy is a Turkish and he told me that in their tradition family is very important, they don't leave their families alone without visiting them and they just visit each other and they have a good time together. And within this story he was comparing the Dutches and Turkish people and was saying that they are not like the dutch people that don't visit their families, they do it only once in a while, but not like them all the time.

Now as he was saying that i was having a back-chat and i was thinking: ' now what has that got to do with anything...??  does it make your people better in some way or another..??? What about giving all families of the world the same treatment, would that be possible within your culture, or not.,....??
I mean what good is it to care for only your family alone, and the rest, their problem....????  Isn't this what is going on all over the place, people caring only for those who are close to them alone and leave the rest to suffer.This is exactly what all people all over the world is doing and how parents are raising their children, it doesn't matter in what culture you were born in, it is all about exclusion and separation and inequality and specialness.

Self -forgiveness statements:

I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to judge others as me.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to have a thought about me asking this guy at work questions, but that i really in that moment did not ask.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to manipulate myself in avoiding asking him the questions and in so doing participate in my mind, in my thoughts with the questionings.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to compare cultures within me.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to let myself into my thoughts, instead of me taking directive principle and ask the question directly.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to see within his story of comparison that he was feeling better than the the Dutch people, because he believes that they are careless, not like them.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to feel angry and sad at the same time for what he was saying.
I forgive myself for accepting and allowing myself to connect the feeling of anger and sadness with the story he was saying.




Thanks...
