fuming, the notion of self-respect is only limiting if you have no self respect...it is important to remember that the fight for self-respect and self-worth is not won only once, but is a battle that must be fought every day in order to be happy. this world is programmed to bring us down...we're taught that we don't mean anything, that we're powerless to help ourselves and other people. we're born with nothing and as life goes on we have even less and less to work with. so in my mind at least, there is no finality or closure to acceptance, it is a dynamic and constantly evolving process...
as human beings we're caught in this fantastic and intimidating process of trying to make sense of the world around us with a single, infinitely colored kaleidoscope, but how can we even begin to understand what we see unless we understand that we are kaleidoscopes ourselves...?
p.s. p-angel,
i totally agree...but then, we seem to agree on lots of things ;D
