Why must being honest with yourself equate to being brutal with yourself? We aren't all ridden with mistakes and wrong things we do and falling to temptations.

Why must being honest with yourself equate to being brutal with yourself?
We aren't all ridden with mistakes and wrong things we do and falling to temptations. We do a lot of good things which need as much attention as the things that need brutality to keep our healthy balance.
The way to rapid personal growth is to be beyond yourself, sort of hovering over yourself, be detached if you like, and view what is from the perspective of reason and logics.
Don't be brutal to yourself. It does not work. Love is superior :)
- skowmunk 16y agoI agree with you. What you have stated is the other half of my belief regarding rapid personal improvement. I might have given the wrong picture by stating just one half of my belief. But then I did that, because its this part that most people hinder themselves at as they often find it distasteful or painful to accept the bitter truths about the way they do some things. Its as important to recognise the enabling(the good) characteristics in oneself as it is to recognize the disabling(the bad) characteristics. We are like everybody else, a mix of both, good and bad, often in varying levels and levels that can change with time. keep recognizing and repeating the good behaviors, keep recognizing and getting rid off the bad ones. Its a never ending process. Cheers!
