Why me

Sometimes in the depths of despair I ask myself the question

Why me?

These are the times that I sit there in the dark and ask it over and over

Why me?

I look at all the outside influences that drove me to this place

I find the people responsible for putting me here

And define exactly why it is happening

And then in that

I find no peace

In the book “The Art of War” Sun Tzu says

“Convince your enemy that he will gain very little by attacking you; this will diminish his enthusiasm”

I wondered again, and realized my enemy was not other people or things

It was me

Today I tell myself

I am getting very little by attacking myself

Better I spend energy on building myself

Maybe then I can ask better questions of myself
