Is it really worth it? | Ladies of Hive Community Contest #245 [ENG/ESP]

in Ladies of Hive12 days ago (edited)

Hello beings of light!

This is my first time participating in this beautiful community, which I've been following for quite some time. I always read your interesting articles because I believe they contribute greatly to human and social enrichment.

I'd never decided to participate because I thought it wasn't possible; I felt like I'd be invading a space I wasn't allowed to enter. But recently, several people have encouraged me, including the always kind and special @sacra97, whom I admire for the energy she gives us every day. So, here I am, intent on responding to this interesting proposal you made this week.

There is a first question that is very curious...

Hearing certain words after making a mistake and feeling judged and attacked in the deepest part of our being, what do you think of this phrase: "I told you so?" Would you also say it to someone else?

I mentioned earlier how curious the question is because we encounter people every day who enjoy repeating this phrase, even emphatically.

In my case, I try not to. I don't believe anyone has the absolute truth about anything, and much less is it our place to believe ourselves to be the elixir of life or the oracle of the gods. Every day is an eternal learning experience, and we are committed to that.

Many times, in conversations with people close to me, or in my professional sphere, I've found myself suggesting or advising on certain topics. Occasionally, in moments of introspection, I've said to myself, I hope I'm wrong. But, I don't know if it's due to life's coincidences, experience, or some solid judgment, I've rarely been wrong, and I've seen how several of those people, who initially didn't do what I told them for various reasons, came to me with their heads bowed, as if they were hoping I'd be the one to say, I told you so.

However, no. I'm not one to say this phrase, although sometimes I smile when it happens, shrug my shoulders, and then try to change the subject or delve into some necessary peculiarity.

I think it's pointless to emphasize to anyone whether they're right or wrong. I consider it pure self-centeredness on the one hand; and on the other, it doesn't really offer the necessary support. That person who comes to you for advice, or to whom you've said something about it, needs to learn, and that's an ongoing process over time. Besides, life takes care of putting everything in its place.

Now, this question has another angle that I haven't addressed. It relates to my mistakes, to feeling judged and attacked.

What can I say about this? Mistakes? Yes, I make many. And I'll probably continue to make them.

Attacked? Yes, I'm judged and attacked far more than I think I deserve.

I've heard the phrase in question from time to time. Yes, I've heard people say I told you so! when I've suffered one of those attacks. But you know what? There I make the same mistake again: trusting people, loving them, turning the other cheek, and even helping them when they need it, despite everything. And I make this mistake with pride and pleasure, because that's who I am, inevitably abnormal.

Okay, changing the subject. There's another interesting question we've been asked.

Of all the species in the animal kingdom, if you could be one of them, which one would you choose? Which one would you identify with and why?

Here I confess that I'm guilty of being a weird person. I say this because those who typically identify with felines don't identify with canines. I love both.

Choosing just one animal I identify with is very difficult for me. I just like animals, that's all...

On the one hand, I identify strongly with the eagle, to the point that I've sometimes entered a trance state during meditation and found myself flying like an eagle, above where I am, seeing everything that happens from that perspective. Some might say I'm just letting my imagination run wild when they read this. Maybe they're right.

Something similar has happened to me, but imagining myself as a wolf or a panther, with whom I also identify.

Why them? I have no idea. I haven't rationalized it. Perhaps some for their elegance and control of the situation, others for their ability to soar above the priceless and notice the smallest details; others, like dolphins, for their empathic and protective capacity. Who knows? You tell me.

To all, a hug of light!

¡Hola seres de luz!

Es mi primera participación en esta hermosa comunidad a la que llevo siguiendo hace un buen tiempo. Siempre leo sus interesantes artículos porque considero que aportan mucho al enriquecimiento humano y social.

Nunca me había decidido a participar porque pensé no era posible, sentía que invadiría un sitio al que no me era permitido entrar. Pero recientemente varias personas me han animado, entre ellas la siempre amable y especial @sacra97, a quien admiro por la energía que nos regala cada día. Así que acá estoy con la intención de responder a tan interesante propuesta que nos hacen esta semana.

Hay una primera interrogante que resulta muy curiosa...

Al escuchar ciertas palabras después de cometer un error y sentirte juzgado y atacado en lo más profundo de tu ser, ¿qué opinas de esta frase: "Te lo dije"? ¿Se la dirías también a otra persona?

Acoté anteriormente lo curioso de la interrogante porque a diario encontramos personas que disfrutan repetir esta frase, de modo enfático incluso.

En mi caso, intento no hacerlo. No creo que nadie tenga la verdad absoluta sobre algo y mucho menos nos compete creernos el elixir de la vida o el oráculo de los dioses. Cada día es un eterno aprendizaje y a ello nos debemos.

Muchas veces, dialogando con personas cercanas, o en mi ámbito profesional, me he visto en la situación de sugerir o aconsejar sobre determinados temas. En ocasiones, ante ello, en momentos de introspección, me ha sucedido que me digo a mí mismo espero equivocarme. Pero, no sé si por causalidades de la vida, la experiencia o algún criterio sólido realmente, me he equivocado poco y he visto cómo, varias de esas personas, que en un principio no hicieron lo que les decía, por diversas cuestiones, venían a mí con la cabeza baja como quien espera sea yo quien les diga te lo dije.

Sin embargo, no. No soy de decir esta frase, aunque a veces sonrío cuando sucede, encojo los hombros y trato entonces de cambiar el tema o profundizar en alguna peculiaridad necesaria.

Pienso que de nada vale recalcarle a nadie que uno tenga o no la razón. Lo considero puro egocentrismo por un lado; y por otro, realmente no resulta algo que brinde el apoyo preciso. Esa persona que viene a ti en busca de consejo o a quien le dijiste algo al respecto, lo que requiere es aprender y ello es un proceso continuo en el tiempo. Además, la vida se encarga de poner todo en su sitio.

Ahora bien, esta pregunta tiene otro enfoque que no he abordado. Y es el relativo a mis errores, el sentirme juzgado y atacado.

Sobre ello, ¿qué decir? ¿Errores? Sí, cometo muchos. Y los seguiré cometiendo seguramente.

¿Atacado? Si, soy juzgado y atacado mucho más de lo que creo merecer.

Me han dicho alguna que otra vez la frase en cuestión. Sí, me han dicho ¡Te lo dije!, cuando he sufrido algún que otro de esos ataques hacia mi persona. Pero, ¿saben qué? Ahí vuelvo a cometer el mismo error: confiar en las personas, amarlas, poner la otra mejilla, e incluso ayudarlas cuando lo necesitan, a pesar de todo. Y este error, lo cometo con todo orgullo y placer, porque así soy, inevitablemente anormal.

Bien, cambiando el tema. Hay otra pregunta también curiosa que nos han hecho.

De todas las especies del reino animal, si pudieras ser una de ellas, ¿cuál elegirías? ¿Con cuál te identificarías y por qué?

Acá les confieso que me declaro culpable de ser una persona rara. Lo digo porque normalmente quienes se identifican con los felinos, no lo hacen con los caninos. A mí, pues me encantan ambos.

Elegir un solo animal con el que me identifico, me resulta muy difícil. Me gustan los animales, sencillamente así...

Por un lado, me identifico mucho con el águila, al punto de que, en ocasiones he entrado en estado de trance durante alguna que otra meditación, y me he descubierto volando como si fuese un águila, encima del lugar donde estoy, viendo todo lo que sucede desde esa perspectiva. Algunos dirán que me dejo llevar por la imaginación cuando lean esto. Tal vez tengan razón.

Similar me ha sucedido, pero imaginándome lobo o pantera, con quienes me identifico también.

¿Por qué ellos? Ni idea. No lo he racionalizado. Quizás, unos por su elegancia y control de la situación, otros por su capacidad de sobrevolar lo inestimable y percatarse de lo más mínimo; otros, como los delfines, por su capacidad empática y protectora. ¿Quién sabe? Ya me dirán ustedes.

A todas, ¡un abrazo de luz!
