For balanced mental health, it’s important to spend time in public, and time in private.
Morality and ethics should be flexible enough to allow for our individual character. Otherwise ‘being good’ can make us miserable.
In our approach to self-development, we can work passively (e.g. on self-acceptance), or actively (e.g. on self-assertion or self-promotion).
We can nurse our pain, but without a plan, that pain will repeat itself.
When we feel negative emotions, our natural reaction is to disown them, to project them onto others. But this causes harm, both to others and ourselves.
