Thanks Hi Rise,

But I got the summary. Simplify is the message. Self-acceptance is really tough. It doesn't end at admitting our weaknesses. It takes more than that. It clashes with ego every now and then. I still have a long way to go I guess. Can you suggest some books other than Walden to read? Steve,

Yeah, some people did ridicule me for writing that piece. I ran it by my wife and others before I published it. I decided to post it because I felt it could help other people. I also published it because I wanted to express that part of my being. Was it somewhat self-indulgent? yes... but most blogging is. Hell... Thoreau's Walden is entirely self-indulgent and it is one the greatest American literary books ever written. I don't believe in denying weaknesses. Embrace them for what they are... you. Embracing your weaknesses is self-acceptance. Keep doing what you do, and be real... even if it costs you... being fake will cost you more in the long run. Thanks for the mention and the link…
