I don’t believe in labeling people as simply good or bad. Life isn’t that black and white. Instead, I’ve come to see that we are not defined by static identities but by the energy we carry, the choices we make, and the way we show up in the world. We are what we embody, and what we embody comes from what we hold within.
When we are full of love, it shows. When we are filled with resentment, that too becomes visible. The lack of something within us often manifests as its distorted shadow in our actions. A lack of self-love can appear as hatred toward ourselves or projected onto others. A lack of confidence may come out as arrogance or aggression. Envy is often just the ache of unacknowledged potential or unloved parts of ourselves.
It’s easy to take people’s behavior personally. But the truth is, what others project onto us is often a reflection of what they are wrestling with internally. When someone acts out in anger or judgment, it's not really about us. It's about what they are carrying and perhaps haven’t yet healed.
Conversely, when someone is deeply rooted in love, it shows. Love isn’t something they perform; it’s something they are. A person who values honesty lives honestly, not just outwardly but also within. That kind of integrity can't be faked because it's felt.
So instead of focusing on who’s right or wrong, maybe the real question is: What am I embodying right now? Am I being led by fear or by love? Am I reacting from lack, or responding from fullness?
When we nurture our inner world, when we commit to healing, self-awareness, and compassion, we begin to shift what we bring into the outer world. And the more whole we become, the more we naturally become a source of light and love for others.
Be full. Be whole. Be love and light everywhere you go. The world feels it, even if no one says a word.
Love, Umi
