Have you no shame? - OGSF 5G | EPRHA 2.0

[LionKing]

Hey man, what I realized a while ago was that if my actions don't kill, physically harm, emotionally scar or traumatize, take something from or hinder another person's goals, then there's no reason I shouldn't be 100% ok with doing it.

Even a kid will get sad if his parent tells him he can't go out to play till he finishes his homework, or that he has to eat his vegetables instead of ice cream everyday, but if the parents gave in to all the immature drama, not only would the kids turn out unhealthy, but the parents would too.

I'm not saying you treat other people like kids btw, it's just an analogy. Hope this helps.

Hey! Interesting analogy, though the concerns I have are more "sorry, I need to put my own needs before yours", and I see that analogy more as "sorry, you need to put your own long-term needs before short-term needs". But hey, its a different perspective.

Intellectually what I posted is, and has been, 100% clear to me - still, it often prevails. Don't like disappointing others, I guess. Maybe that links back to how I place 'value' on myself, somehow. Mm, whatever. There was other stuff mixed in that particular bad day as well; something about others getting it all in the end when I don't, or some general down-feeling like that (victim). Got out of it though after a little talk & fun.
