Creator

Introduction

There are two ways you can live your life, two ways to feel about what comes into your life moment by moment. You can see yourself as a victim of circumstances or understanding that you have control over your thoughts and the direction of your focus; you can now make the decision see yourself as the creator of your experience. From this day, forward, you can become aware of your thoughts, and how you direct them. Ultimately there are two attitudes we can take in life: the attitude of a victim or a creator.

This incongruity results in anger — anger toward life, toward god. It manifests in the victim as a passive, depressive heaviness, inertia, and seeming disinterest, appearing more like sadness than anger. It is the ultimate rejection of what is hatred of self, violence toward life.
