How do you live with yourself
Discussion
With and without
Fine, thanks.
Pretty well actually. You?
bear with me. this metaphor works.
you have an angel on one shoulder and a demon on the other. the angel doesn't understand the world in words and doesn't see self and other. the demon only see a world divided into things, numbers. the demon's view is microscopic and selfish because it only sees and does things for itself.
in the end they are not separate and we can not leave them.
each moment you are choosing what to hear, either one or the other or both. if you don't hear both you are picking sides.
one leads to nihilism, the other leads to narcissism. if the demon is not heard, it gets really loud. angel too.
how can you hear both and forget what I just wrote at the same time?

Taking the opportunity to reflect a bit deeply on this, (although I'm sure it was meant as a joke that no one but you had context to? π)
To live with oneself, to me, means to examine your life and to be witness to it in its' fullness.
All the bad and the ugly, can't be masked, ignored or drowned out. Otherwise those parts of you get neglected, which to me is the opposite of living with yourself.
Instead you can practice seeing and accepting yourself just as you are currently. Even gently investigating who you really are perhaps.
To me, this is one perspective of living "with yourself". π
How do I live with myself? I spoil myself and feel grateful every day πππ₯°
I'm awesome, it's very easy π I'm low maintenance, even to myself. Well, except for picking food, that's hard π
I ask myself the same question every morning π.
