I find ...Destructive self talk is soul destroying. I find it creeping into my consciousness way too often. I have been called a pesimist but I heard an interview on CBC (can't remember who or what) where the fellow said he used to be a pesimist but is really a wounded idealist. This fits better with my view. One of my previous employers said that I had a hard time reconciling theory with practise. I think they meant it as something negative but I see it as a strength. I know (through education and experience) what should be and am upset when the practise falls short.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-89375884516874985642009-07-15T18:51:40.913-04:002009-07-15T18:51:40.913-04:00Your words are very wise...it begins with us!It...Your words are very wise...it begins with us!It's not easy to see our own ability to hurt others but if we want the world to change & live with integrity we need to see all of ourselves and to find out what we need to do with our angry/hurt/wounded places.theknapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06179049498112163140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-56582091990699332009-07-15T16:19:05.705-04:002009-07-15T16:19:05.705-04:00Dave, you are so incredibly brave to share the way...Dave, you are so incredibly brave to share the way you have over the past few days.

Do we lavish abuse on ours...Easier said then done!<br /><br />Do we lavish abuse on ourselves in order to protect others from being the victim of abuse from us??<br /><br />If we are mean to ourselves does it stop us from being mean to others??<br /><br />Do people that abuse not have the filter that enables them to abuse their selves rather than others?? <br /><br />Not sure if this makes any sense but needed to reflect on this.<br /><br />I am very hard and abusive to myself but send such love, kindness and compassion out to others. I often wonder if people can really see the true me? I hope not because that would make me need to deliver a whole shit load of abuse back on me.<br /><br />Thanks for the place to rant and maybe start a healing process??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-3650318888595624972009-07-15T09:19:43.951-04:002009-07-15T09:19:43.951-04:00That's so great.
If you keep doing this kind ...That's so great.<br /><br />If you keep doing this kind of thing, I bet some day your motivation for "kindness toward self" will be different. It will be because you know you're worth it, not just as practice for being kind to others.<br /><br />Yes, lavish a bit of your kindness on your own self!ivanovanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-18927690342427304922009-07-15T07:59:47.990-04:002009-07-15T07:59:47.990-04:00Interesting insight.

"Thick Face Black Heart" by Chin-ning Chu.<br /><br />Lotta stuff in this book seems weird and not very nice at times but if you persist with reading and have some good thinking time as well it does wonders. Well it did for me anyway!<br /><br />hugs<br />GleeGleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17671758996746410949noreply@blogger.com
