Finding Words

Listening to women in the dressing room at the gym, I hear the theme again, and wonder how we ever dared to think we could think for another.
"It's a shame," They said; "he could have, should have, missed the opportunity to experience..." I hear their disappointment in him, and without even wondering who "he" is I ponder the idea that he failed them because they believe that he had something that he refused to give, when it is most likely that the thing they desired, or required from him, was something that he simply didn't have to give.
Esther Hicks - Abraham reminds us that the fastest way to not-good feelings is to consider (even for a moment) the course of action that "should" be taken by another. I can only pick my own feel-good thoughts and dedicate my consciousness to them, and I can confirm, absolutely, that it does not feel good inside me when I "should-on" anyone!
