The point I am making is lack of self-acceptance because of feeling of anger - feeling guilty about it! "Without loving-kindness for ourselves, it is difficult, if not impossible. to genuinely feel it toward others." Pema Chodron
Ron Alexander: I highly recommend reading Pema Chodron to understand what I am writing about - in UNCOMFORTABLE WITH UNCERTAINTY - Chodron celebrates compassionate activity with the following words: "It's daring not to shut anyone out of our hearts, not to make anyone an enemy. If we begin to live like this, we'll find that we actually can't define someone as completely right or completely wrong anymore. Life is more slippery and playful than that. Trying to find absolute rights and wrongs is a trick we play on ourselves to feel secure and comfortable."
