Title couldn’t say it all.
The Degree to which a person can grow
is directly proportional to the amount
of truth they can accept about themselves
without running away and live in denial.

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...
