Where does the whole quasi-Buddhist, spiritual shit come from?

How do you manage to be so empathetic?

Thank you for asking something I can think about for starters.

Spiritual stuff comes from thinking. Although I work like mad day in and day out, my thoughts have a lot of time to wander and are free to go wherever they please. I've always been drawn to scientific aspects of the world, but the unexplained phenomenon the things that science cannot or has not explained yet, something you could label as meta physical I suppose, is just as fascinating. But the two are not separate from one another. When I look at theories, and scientific things, I see the little threads and links that tie them together, how they start to feed off of each other through some strange interconnected way. And when applied to something of the unknown, a potential thread connects them as well. Of course, I can prove nothing. But the links are all there, int he background.

I manage to be empathetic through understanding and logic. I always try to look at the other side of things, to look at a view outside my own, and then realize why such things are. For example, when I was 3, my father got drunk, and decked my mother upside the jaw, and broke it. I had nightmares for four years afterward every night of that scene, replaying, over and over. I was terrified of him as a child.

But, a few years back, I visited him. I held no grudge, and no anger, because as I grew older, I understood why. He was simply the product of his parents before him. He didn't know anything else. And, when he started out with my mother, things looked okay. But my mother has her own problems too. And so things went from being okay to being bad. And my father, being the product of the circumstance, had no other way out in his limited vision and his insecurities. He couldn't deal with the anger and other problems. So he lashed out.

He's not the villain or nightmare I saw him as a child. He's a person, flawed as any, like me or you. What he did wasn't right, but in his shoes, that's all he knew, and all he had. I can't blame him for that.

So, that's how I can be so empathic. Looking for the other side of the coin, the other story.

Better than a black man.
