Sadly Alex my experience with most people in life is they are too concerned with themselves to be concerned with others. Or they dont love themselves enough to love others. Its a massive problem in the 'lost generation' especially. Good post as usual.
Rings true to me. Bearing in mind that many people are too concerned with themselves these days, hence lash out and blame more quickly, it is even more important to not take their attacks personally and instead see that their attacks are rooted in unhealed wounds within. Otherwise our sanity and well-being is in real danger...
