strengths and weaknes

the thing i hate most about myself is that i cant say no. i have hurt more people more out of pity and empathy, than by any of my legendary tempers or frost sessions. i do remember how i myself used say that "the worst insult you can give another fellow human being is to pity them". that was the first of my great "sayings" as a friend used to say. but all that changed as i grew. guilt has many manifestations. the growing burden of remorse, or is it just fear? I dont know why, but each little bit kinder i get, in a way, the worse kind of person i think i am becoming

  1. i think i know what you mean. but i've really had learnt how to do that and to some extent i can now. but you know what...that remorse is always in you. whether you hurt by saying NO or not saying it.

  2. LOL, I had you pegged all wrong Jap lady astronaut. You are a zen Phillosopher too. True, sometimes the way you can hurt someone really badly is by being kind to them.

    BTW, why do you keep deleting your posts?
