We all fail to see ourselves from from time to time. We have all experienced inside ourselves emotions which are not flattering, that is how we know how to spot them in another...I have heard it said that what we dislike most in others is what we dislike most about ourselves...I have found this to be true about myself when I soul search deeply... I am no better than the person I dislike. I know when I have set myself up on a pedestal it is time to come down and get real....I try...I soul search...I am not perfect, but I like me more than I used to..Many self centered adults come from homes where they were abused...Self centeredness can be a learned survival method for some...sometimes we can never come outside of the box of our tortures, sometimes we can. It took me a very long time to become somewhat enlightened...With love and acceptance of our character defects maybe some of us can heal.....Hugs to my girl Tina...K
I search for truth every day, I am not sure we ever know all that we could TuesdaysRuby. I like it also.

You know, this is beautiful, and once I read something to the sort that Mother Teresa said she felt so sad that she had never felt the realization of Christ, or something of the sort...for give me for not having the exact words, but for someone who didnt know Jesus personally, she knew his spirit, his love, and his wisdom...
How many people if really truthful, will admit not knowing him, and honestly dont show it in their actions....i am one of them, and search for truth constantly......
Thank you! I can't believe I have never read this. I say "Go Girl." :) and I shall join you. Knowing I am doing what I came here to do is what moves every song, poem, painting, and act of kindness in my life. Many blessings to you. All Ways ~ Raven
