self-acceptance??

Posted: Tue, Jun 22, 2004 04:29:54 AM

why is it so difficult for me to let people i care for, love and trust into some places in my life?
what is the payoff for hiding?
it probably is that if i risk nothing i get nothing. i have accepted nothing for so long that the risk of trying for more seems to be unacceptable to me.
well just for today i will try and accept the risk of letting others see me for all that i am and stop hiding behind the walls. i do have the tools in my life that i need to move out of indifference and ego.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) In this way though he has his place above them, men do not feel
his weight, nor though he has his place before them, do they feel
it an injury to them.
