It all comes down to the fact that for all intents and purposes despite my character defects and shortcomings I am a good man. On balance the scales tip in that direction. After the time of strife and the anger or resentment is over it’s just too hard to hold onto any lasting hostility towards me . People will inevitably see that it is near impossible to dislike or hate me unless they have unnatural props to support that ill will towards me. This is not an exercise in self-aggrandizement. It is simply my way of understanding what logic dictates and that a man in touch with his anima has no intention to hurt anyone only himself.
I read this after you posted it on Wednesday, but had to re-read it again today. You are not only a good man, you are a wonderful, ntelligent, caring & compassionate man! You need not seek affirmation that you are a "good man", because you are much more than that!!!
ReplyDeleteAn individuals intrinsic value is not in my humble opinion based upon ones deeds but rather ones motivation. To be good or bad ,intelligent or not only has value if it is aquired through a concerted effort to develope those traits. To be a "good man" is a choice. Intelligence is not . What ever the definition of good is?
