"If the person “digests” the situation, he becomes happier and wiser. If he fails to do so, he is poisoned and gets angry, gloomy, tense and skeptical. In other words, he is filled with negative emotions because of his rejection of reality."
This was most eloquently expressed and your post brought up so many amazing aspects of life.
I too used to struggle with perfectionism, and it destroyed a lot of life. The thought that I would create something mediocre, so made my stomach turn that I couldn't barely exist with that thought. I have also reached a point of understanding that every person, every action and everything in life is capable of teaching us something, if we would only quiet our minds enough to hear the whispers. Thanks for writing this one.
