The negative regency of Odu Owarin announces the dangers of suffering from ingratitude for doing good indiscriminately, making you an easy victim for freeloaders and abusers. It seems that no matter how much you help them, they don’t even say, “Thank you” – on the contrary, they often go around creating lies and slanders about you, thinking and saying that you did no more than your obligation.

By the way, ingratitude is the biggest problems faced by those like you who haven’t learned to say “No.” Charity and benevolence are noble sentiments and you practice them with excellence; however, it is necessary to understand that kindness and welfare ar33e different things – while the first is an act from a good heart, the seconds creates bonds of dependence that can hardly be broken without pain. It’s time to remember that not everything you can do for others should be done. This is your life challenge: by learning to say “No” and putting yourself first you will take the first step towards eliminating the pain and guilt that you carry within you.

In addition, you need to accept once and for all that life in society, however communal, must be lived alone, and while under the influence of Odu Owarin this should be taken as aa rule. Persecution has been haunting all areas of life: in love, work and personal life there always seems to be a third party who unbalances your choices, making you suffer and lose everything you conquer. So it’s time to rethink friendships and business and other partnerships that involve you and two or more other people – unfortunately, you’re the one who ends up paying the price for the mistakes of others.

Your sense of urgency in life and in the need to achieve your goals are justified; after all, you’ve been living with the feeling that your time on earth is coming to an end. To alleviate these anxieties, how about seeking medical and spiritual guidance to achieve the balance between physical, mental and spiritual harmony that you so much desire?

Owarin’s Shadow Meditation: How many times do I feel like I’m carrying other people’s guilt and responsibilities – and usually I am? And how many of those times could I have avoided it by saying out load that I wouldn’t take their weight, instead of keeping silent just to feel that I’m included and accepted?
