“If we say that we have no fault, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.” (ODAT, February 4)
The childhood things about which I felt sad or angry or upset:
I did not cause them.
But I did interpret them.
And I then generalised those interpretations.
And I recalled them.
And I attached significance to them.
Whatever repeats is giving me a payoff.
When I was willing to look at and give up the payoffs …
… I could stop upsetting myself.
