Boundaries

How to keep healthy boundaries in your relationships

Pointing the Finger of Blame at.....
others may feel good, it may feel as if we are somehow better than them when we perceive ourselves as not being the type to engage in such things.... Isn't being self righteous and self serving wonderful ?? LOL .....
However the things that may aggravate us about others are usually aspects of our own personality that we do not see, we do not like about ourselves, we refuse to acknowledge and we are in denial about...
Only being honest with ourselves ( AND others) can we move past things.
However like William Blake says *The truth when told with bad intent, is worse than lies you could invent* so we need to be aware that there are many ways to see the *truth* yours, theirs, and others version of it.... And ALL may have merit and value...
It is not our place as readers to point the finger of blame at others.....we all have aspects of ourselves we care to keep hidden until we choose to reveal them...

This is an intelligent and insightful lesson for us all Joan.  Sometimes we all become a little self righteous and denounce others as if we are the only ones who have the correct answers but all in all standing in judgment of others usually points directly back to ourselves and our own infallibilities.  Great blog as usual and thanks for enlightening us.

There are none of us that have all the answers...and there are none of use who will be able to connect to everyone we read for. One could only wish for that.
Denouncing others to make ourselves feel better by being self righteous will do no more than falsely build ourselves up which is only a temporary band aid for us not really looking in the mirror of who and what we REALLY are...And these days many LIVE on that and will NEVER look at THEMSELVES only project their own *stuff* onto others so they do not have to look at themselves..
