I am reading this great book broken open by elisabeth lesser, and one of the chapter in the book talks about how we are all bozos on the bus so we might as well sit back and enjoy the ride. It's such a profound statement, I want to write down so that I don't forget this important statement. I suffer from similar bozo syndrome where I think every other person on the bus has it all in control & has never done any mistakes in their life, and they are perfect spouse, mother & has never done any mistakes in life, as written beautifully in the book & I quote" we are all half baked experiments mistake prone beings, born without instruction book into complex world. none of us are models of perfect behaviour we have all betrayed and had been betrayed; we are known to be egotistical,unreliable,lethargic and stingy & each one of us has awakened in the middle of night worrying about everything from kids, money to wrinkled skin. In other words we are all bozos on the bus" I feel This is such freeing stetement If we are all bozos on the bus then we can leave down our pretense of knowing all & all perfect & get on being bozos without embarassment and resistance. It is so much easy to work on our rough edges with forgiving heart. I agree with author where she says imagine how freeing it would be to take a more compassionate and comedic view of the human conditions- not as a way to deny our defects but as a way to welcome them as part of human operation system. I find this view very profound it makes you realize be kind to every one including yourself. Every one is fighting their own battles. something new I learnt so you guys have to learn too lol
