That is a profound way of looking at it. I've learned something similar on my journey too, that also is your cup is filled with dirtiness you must also empty the cup so that it may be fill with full love. Sometimes you might need to empty the cup over and over till the water that flows is clean and loving. We have to able to work on the self so that when you share the water, it isn't dirtied.
Thank you for stopping on by. It's an interesting situation we all find ourselves in as we travel along our individual journeys. Our experiences and beliefs, shape the way we see ourselves and those around us, and in retrospect we may have wished we had made different choices along the way. But all we can ever do is the best we can, based on the awareness we have at each point in time. The more important thing is what do we choose in this now moment.
Yup, I agree. All we can do is embrace what has happened and learn from them. The present moment is all we have, best thing to do is do our best.
