I agree somethings can be seen in a different light when viewed from different angles. I also believe, though, in the concept of evil and sin and how they destroy relationships. For me, what matters is the pattern of behavior, as in "every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good." In other words, the inner self will be revealed sooner or later, as well as whether that self was for the betterment of the world or not. Hi Davina,

These "negative" behaviours are labels that we attach to actions or feelings that we don't like, and seen through the eyes of the inner critic. I've been curiously studying the inner critic in myself and a light turned on the other day. I've written a bit about this in my next post. What I've come to realize is that we give the inner critic too much credit. It is an illusion, so how can it create anything -- that what I wonder? Hi Lori.

I’ve been curiously studying the inner critic in myself and a light turned on the other day. I’ve written a bit about this in my next post. What I’ve come to realize is that we give the inner critic too much credit. It is an illusion, so how can it create anything — that what I wonder?

I think certain hypocritical thinking and negatives in our culture, society, or religion don't always help us create the wisest choices. Clearing out the external messages to hear the saner side of life is tough. I will say this -- I'm tired of any hypocrisy within myself. I think that's why I'm really starting to deeply value authenticity and embrace it instead of just think of it as a Nice, but Unattainable Ideal. Hi Lance,
