- BLKNSLVR 1y agoKnowing yourself to know, and forgive / accept, who and what you are. Allows you to appreciate the perceptiveness of others when they're correct. Also, if you do not know yourself (and especially if you cannot forgive yourself) you're going to struggle to deal with your own children. My kids reflect me back at myself in what were frustrating ways, until I realised it was me and my influence, and it became massively endearing. Although I may be too forgiving of myself (but in amongst that I do still have 'the voices of discontent' but the longer I live the more their sentiment is proven wrong).
- gsf_emergency_4 1y agoKids are a great mirror --sometimes their unforgiveness (beyond mere unforgivingness/mercilessness :) is a spur to get better.. Are some voices of discontent not simply expressing a desire to make things better for others? Those shouldn't be dismissed so readily
