Cracked Pot Meditations – Just Try

Meditation for April 26th, 2016

Just Try

You know what? Why don’t you try to be a good person for once? I know you have all these strict unbreakable rules that you deem important, but maybe you can cut other people some slack since you won’t cut yourself some. 

It’s one thing to stand by your beliefs, but it’s another thing to completely isolate yourself from your fellow human just because you think something is dumb. Did you know someone else thinks everything you like is stupid? 

Here is your fucking meditation today: just try. Just fucking try to be nice. It won’t kill you to be nice to someone who likes different music than you. It won’t end your happiness if someone isn’t exactly into your subculture. Maybe it’s a learning experience to hear someone with different political views as you. Just be nice. 

Maybe it’s the golden rule or maybe it’s karma, but being nice to people, especially when you don’t want to, is the best medicine for a sick soul. 

Prayer

God of light and the fish,

Help me. 

Help me be nice to others,

Instead of finding all that’s different.

Help me be kind,

Instead of screaming my individuality in other people’s faces. 

Help me be compassionate,

Instead of comparing pain & suffering. 

I need people. 

I need to stop my bullshit about hating people,

And just try. 

Fucking Amen. 

Craft

Just try. 

Goal

Just try.
