Humans Can Always Accept Themselves Unconditionally.

Strong Feelings Are Fine; It's The Overreactions That Mess Us Up.

This, Perhaps, Goes To Show That Conditional Self-esteem, As I Have Said For Many Years, Is An Insidious, Real Sickness, So Much So That Even Buddhists Carelessly Sneak It In And Sometimes Encourage Their Clients To Achieve It.

If People Stopped Looking On Their Emotions As Ethereal, Almost Inhuman Processes, And Realistically Viewed Them As Being Largely Composed Of Perceptions, Thoughts, Evaluations, And Internalized Sentences, They Would Find It Quite Possible To Work Calmly And Concertedly At Changing Them.

I Would Have Liked Having Children To Some Degree, But Frankly I Haven't Got The Time To Take The Kids To The Goddamn Ballgame. So It Would Have Had More Disadvantages Than Advantages For Them.

The Individual Is Taught That There Is Nothing That He As A Total Person Is To Feel Ashamed Of Or Self-hating For.
