Because in feeling our own feelings I have thought that to do that I had to be honest with myself and not afraid to feel feelings that I "shouldn't" feel or were "inconvenient" as you so aptly say. But, I disagree about relying only on myself. I don't do that . . . can't do that . . . I need a compassionate community around me . . . not to take care of me but to be with me, present to me. Ronald Rolheiser talks about "moral loneliness" and I've been trying to understand his concept these last few weeks. Somehow, my sense of community around me (not just any community) helps alleviate my sense of moral loneliness. Few words and techno talk doesn't really do subjects like this justice, does it. Anyway . . . happy birthday !!!!!!! :) Well . . . one question that comes to mind is “Are trustworthy and honest the same thing?” Because in feeling our own feelings I have thought that to do that I had to be honest with myself and not afraid to feel feelings that I “shouldn’t” feel or were “inconvenient” as you so aptly say.
