God, direct my attention to whatever helps me develop more patience.

It's as if I don't understand the appeal of the self-absorption of some of the famous ones in this era in a way that's hard to communicate because some people don't want to see how it's also very limiting and damaging to be so self-serving, and there's so much around them that's working to keep them sheltered from other realities. I don't get that shelter, but I also don't even want it. I may want some kind of shelter, but that is not the kind of shelter I am seeking. It feels like that kind of shelter or filter is putting limits on their awareness and ability to perceive the world around them. It's limiting their abilities. They get rewarded for their role in keeping things smaller and more manageable for Patriarchal Systems. Shutting out and shutting down and getting praised for that behavior is part of an old pattern that they are repeating. But maybe I just need to look at something else, or somewhere else. Sometimes that would be a much better thing for me to do.
