“The less you respond to Drama, the more peaceful your life will become.”

— Unknown Author

There is so much drama all around us. Many of us say that we “don’t do drama”. But, someone is “doing drama” or we would not see so much of it. It is not even to say that drama is bad, for it surely has its purpose. However, the more drama we have in our lives, the more we struggle. When our lives are drama-filled, we lose our freedom and waste our precious life energy.

First, we will get clear on the type of drama we are discussing here. We are not talking about natural human drama. We are not referring to the beautiful drama that makes up the experience of being human. Pain and conflict are not always a bad thing and sometimes, both are required for our spiritual and emotional evolution.

The drama that has corroded many of our lives is an unnecessary drama. This is drama that has no purpose or meaning. It always wants and is never satisfied. Unnecessary drama is always about the problem and never about the solution. It is an endless cycle of disharmony and chaos. It follows us around and steals our joy.
