Thought 2

Healing humiliation.
... The loss of human dignity at the hands of another can be forgiven, but it is rarely, if ever, forgotten.
... The key is to notice that if we stop beating ourselves up internally, the bullies i the world don't pick on us. The lesson of losing our dignity through being humiliated is learned when we show mercy towards ourselves (italics mine).

It took me a few minutes to understand what was meant by showing mercy to ourselves. The Christian side of my mind was making me anticipate "towards those who hurt us".

A  few of my favourite quotes from "Almost There" - My #1 Summer 2016 book

Picture
- I used him, but, you know, I paid for it, in not being known by him.
-And as for that - passion - I was so estranged from it that I could hardly remember what appetite was like or what confidence was like that would let it show.

- ... you do gain a small distance from anything by keeping it in suspension in your mind while you work on finding the words to fit it. I think this is interesting because you also lose sight if you ruminate on something in your head all the time. The difference is in one case your producing something and in the other your are sort of stuck in thought cycle.
