The less you have the more creative you have to be.
Highly marginalized people can do radical acts.
Marriage is a crapshoot.
That's what people tell me......
Mary was married to a person who expected her to walk on water among other supernatural tricks. The allowance she got from her "man" was not enough to feed 1/4 of a person. Once a year she got $10.00 to buy a dress. He held the purse strings like Judas Iscariot. She was a convenience with a roof over her head and abortions on demand.
She felt marginalized when he gambled his paycheck away and cheated with women who had his DNA. "You don't change what you can tolerate" was her motto. She had the highest tolerance of anybody I have ever met.
Mary would serve a dinner of boiled potatoes garnished with parsley. He'd bring a frozen cream pie for himself and ate out. Mary started making her own dresses that looked like mummy wraps to everyone but her.
She, not him, received a lot of criticism (from all of a sudden church people) when she finally had her do or die moment of "cut your losses, cut your losses, cut your losses" two babies later with no place to go.
She had to change since he was unwilling to change anything.
The lesson he taught her was that she was resilient, resourceful, creative, worthy, intelligent, had superb decorating skills, fashion style, character, morals, investment sense, oozing empathy and vision. She is also a fabulous cook and gardener (I wonder why)
There you have it. HA!
If you keep doing what is right, you will get your harvest.
If you keep doing what is wrong, you too will get your harvest. That is the basis of free will.
Simple living and high thinking has benefited Mary more than she ever imagined.
NAMASTE
