My brother turns into Crusader Rabbit when he perceives an underdog is being taken advantage of. He’s not afraid to speak up on behalf of those who don’t. The only problem comes when he stands up for someone playing the victim and, unbeknownst to him, out to stir up some drama. Then he finds himself in a big hot mess because of his kind and protective heart. He wanted to help bring them justice. He realized later that the Universe was already bringing them justice and they should have instead prayed for mercy from their own karma. I can dig it. In the past I’ve stood up for others and didn’t always do so with all the facts at hand. Only in retrospect do I see the matter would have been best settled between the parties themselves. They were the only ones who knew the facts.
So do you never help anyone who asks? No. You support them but do not get involved in their battles. My brother is kind, but he does not want to stunt their soul if it’s just their ego playing out. We’ve both decided to stay out of the fray knowing that these souls will attract exactly what they’ve been giving out, and that’s the mirror that will show them the way into themselves, and out of themselves, if they’re willing to take the real journey. The solitary, inward journey of “What am I not seeing, why do I have personality conflicts?” rather than the outward journey of telling the victim story to everyone you know, bringing it up repeatedly long after it’s done. Even if the story is true, your telling it is not helping you reach a place of peace and vibrate in a happier place. Repeating the victim story keeps you in that victim mindset so you can’t attract anything but more to be a victim about. Stop ringing that bell and let that echo die down. The echo is doing the damage. You don’t need Crusader Rabbit to come to your rescue. The answer, as always, is simply clear up the past, forgive everyone everything and start looking for your next good thing. You’ll find all your battles fall away when you do that. It’s easier than you think.
