Everything in my life in recent years, is about renunciation, resignation and acceptance. About falls, immersion. About defeats and the eternal struggle to cling to the edge of an abyss that feeds disappointments, sorrows, tears and disappointment.
I know this is counted as a failure - we are talking about a material or emotional one - and many tears, screams of despair and loss of self costs. How lack of confidence, total disregard, seizes every gesture and just the feeling of uselessness is what haunts the soul.
I know well that each of us live in our own experiences. Some burn more, others give up quickly. Each plays their life as feeling as possible.
Renunciation, what is it? It is the moment that you do not feel? Or one where you do not want to feel? Moment you stop struggling? Renunciation is indifference, acceptance, resignation? Or renunciation is actually a victory?

My understanding of renunciation has to do with spiritual growth. The total change of focus in life often starts with renunciation. For me this is not difficult as it may be with others, that is because I never been attached to things and people, attachments which are so popular today. Of course this is also easy for me, I have never been starving, my children have never starved, they have never been in danger from outside forces unless they made that choice. So many of the world's
needs to survive have been withheld from me and those I loved and felt protective of. Because of this I have no judgement of other's focus, we all travel our own paths in this life.

We are all involved in some way in the renunciation. Must make choices daily. Renunciation testing foundation on which our lives. Our world is unstable. People who rely most, not columns that can not be shaken. Therefore, renunciation is never easy, is something that is meaningful only in the context of deeply devoted relationship.
Thanks for response.
