Sherri, I don’t think that being angry is connected to ruthless. Although, I can see that ‘acting’ ruthless could be a byproduct of anger, but that is a different energy than what I am exploring. Ruthless as a result of anger, is a deep conversation for sure. That sounds like the reaction is a retaliation or a way to protect oneself from being hurt. I want to be clear that I am not trying to push ‘ruthless’ away. I want to call ruthless in to work with my compassion and to accept all of who I am without a hint of shame, blame, or excuses. It would be very easy for me to align with your words as I can definitely see how compassionate I am. Yes, I AM THAT! In my desire for integration, I ask again, what is the gift of being ruthless? I am having a difficult time taking the energy of “ruthless is bad” out of my experience. Ouch!

CK,

You are perfectly right that you need to embrace rudeness. It’s the only way you can ever learn to change it. Rudeness being a gift? You need to understand it first. Where does it come from? Why is it apart of you?

Rudeness demonstrates to the world that we are in pain. Usually, it is emotional pain and you end up pushing everyone away from you. There is no gift of rudeness. When you peel all of the layers away, it shows you really don’t love you. There are far more effective ways of getting a point across without being rude. People never listen to what you way, when you are rude. The mind on a unconscious bases will shut down and label the ill behavior to you and remember nothing else.

I do not see it as a gift. It just shows the person as being a unskilled communicator if they do it on purpose.

I think it is discernment. Utter clarity devoid of even a hint of sentimentality. In martial arts language: use one pound to move a thousand pounds. Compassion looks for effective means. This is the gift that ruthlessness contains in my experience. But I don't mean it will necessarily be what you find, or that you would express it in the same way. I'm very much looking forward to hearing what you find expressed in your way. But I hope what I say can encourage you on the journey anyway.

LaRene,
As much as I want to agree with you, I believe that freedom comes from being able to embrace our shadow. I am in that process right now and having a very difficult time with embracing ruthless. All I can see is that I am NOT THAT! I am searching for the gift in ‘ruthless.’ Digging and searching. And praying and allowing. And breathing. Help me… What might the gift of ruthless be? Where could it benefit us to be ruthless? What incredible light is available to me when I finally embrace this quality I disown in myself? All I know right now is that it is a really BIG gift.

We are all capable of being merciless and cruel. We’re human, and that’s a part of being human.

I know I’m capable of being ruthless. I don’t like it but I have been angry enough from time to time to act ruthlessly.

Now when I feel like this I ask myself the question: “What would love do now?”. This question is from the book “Conversations with God” by Neale Donald Walsh. When I answer that question honestly, I find my ruthlessness fade and my compassion shine through.

All I seek is to be a better me, including all the bad with the good. Then I work to improve the good parts of me and deal more effectively with the parts that I’m ashamed of.

Thanks for the article,
Sherri

I loved your article. We all need to examine ourselves first before we judge someone else. There is so much hate in this world. A ruthless attitude is based on hate. Wouldn’t it be wonderful, if we would let our hate go and do everything out of love.

I enjoyed it.

Hi CK,

Thanks for pointing out the other side of the coin of ruthless.

I am proud to say that I am ruthless.

My guess is that embracing ruthlessness will bring you discernment and flexibility. I look forward to hearing.

My shadow: Stalin. Devoid of feeling, a beaurecratic and soulless manipulator. And when I embrace my shadow: compassionate and effective action.
