The Degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount

💯

Way too many on here need to take a look in the mirror. Supporting right wing bigotry, evangelical christian politics, conservative values. While being whoremongers sex tourists and married men hiding their addiction to hookers..

I start with the understanding that I am flawed, and build back from that. Even though my generation has always been told that we are "perfect", I somehow never really believed it on a personal level.
so when people ask me if I am bothered by other people's opinions of me... or my behavior... or my job... or... anything, really... I first consider that they may be correct.

I may be absolutely the person they describe.... and then I start to add in the choices, the conditions... the forces that got me where I am...

not all of them good.. or positive... I am no saint...

overall though I think my moral and ethical code are pretty well founded in treating other people the way I would like to be treated myself.

as they say though... "when I was wrong promptly admitted it...."

Honesty with others, but mainly myself.... is what I am all about...

Personally. Im far from perfect. All you can do is learn from mistakes and not repeat them. That just takes discipline and a real desire to do better
