It seems to me that some of us are our own, harshest, critics; we are the first to point out what we perceive to be our frailties, faults, and, foolish-behavior(s). It has been my personal experience, when encountering this behavior, to take note of the fact that those who are most, capable of self-effacement, appear also, the most able, to ridicule and criticize others, without thought. I imagine that when we extend to ourselves such low-opinion, it's equally as easy to find fault in others; for the act of owning no sense of self-regard, typically, translates, to having no true, regard for other folks in our lives. When we learn to live a life void of self-judgement, and, instead, allow for acceptance of, and, for, whom we are; along with learning to love ourselves, we may find that we are more loving and tolerant of the behavior of the other people in our lives. For, truly, we are not capable of loving anyone else, adequately, if we do not begin with love, and, acceptance of self. Rather than being your own, worst, enemy, try, instead being your own best friend; and, through this, you just may discover how great a person you, really, are. Just Sayin'...
