September 11 2022 - Stories and significance
Life is given meaning by us.
Life is brought to life you may say.
Life can transformed into meaningfulness and into meaninglessness.
It all depends upon the stories that we tell ourselves.
Some of the stories that we tell ourselves come from our homes. Others come from the environments we spend or have spent much of our time in (including societal and cultural stories). Yet other stories come from knowledge, expansion through investigation, and development by reflection.
September 11 has stories attached to it that are connected to global politics.
For you, September 11 2022 is the day that you met your mother's maternal Aunt Tania.
She cried upon seeing you. She was flooded with emotions of love, touched by your fragility and immediately desirous of spending time with you.
That is a story that you can read again in the future darling. It will remind (of even inform) you of the love that surrounded you even in your earliest days.
The stories that we tell ourselves are defining in life.
They determine, in no small part, the quality of your life.
Careful of the stories that you choose to believe, those you choose to repeat, and especially those that you relate to yourself.
