To refrain from something is to gain self control. I confess, I myself have little to no self control. Whether it's 'dieting' and controlling what I eat, to seeing something disastrous happening in slow motion and feeling absolutely helpless, knowing I should do something but not knowing what precisely needs to be done. In the heart of all things, it is what our inner souls want; this tiny voice we hear in our minds is what we subconsciously want, what we make ourselves believe that we need. Imagine a small child crying alone on the streets because he is hungry. Do you walk away from the child? Or do you feed them? How could one tiny voice project so much emotion?
This is when we have to harness that self control. We must understand when we can let go, as well as comprehend when we must hold back.
But how do we do that? What steps are supposed to be taken to help us educate ourselves to this...control?
I myself haven't found the answer yet, but I am definitely open to suggestions thrown my way.
All voices should be heard.
It just depends on how hard you listen to them is all.
Until next time.
