It’s difficult to really Know Thyself. It’s even harder to describe yourself to another. And then there are the impressions others have of us. Impressions which are often colored by antipathies & sympathies – past karma... And what is true for me might not be true for you. And then of course it’s all in how we react to the reaction...
I often ask myself: What is more important, our manners or our intentions? Are we our confessions, or our ideals? What if our deeds haven't fruited, can we still claim the harvest? It’s difficult to stand up to the standards of others. Our karma sometimes gives us slack, & sometimes it’s the rope that hangs us.
