The imagined

In order to be nicer it requires we be less defensive. So I am working on that.

Over our lifetimes we develop self-defense mechanisms which can become obstacles to our peace of mind. When our weak spots are hit we realize that we still have work to do on the psyche.

Resentment sometimes builds when we are tempted to compare ourselves to others which is a mistake. Having too much time to reflect can help put connections to things that don't really exist. History is examined and we are certain that a slight was committed where none was intended for people are often innocent and can at worst be accused of being obtuse.

The point is to realize it and correct our thinking.
