While I agree, and that is well said, I worry that this mentality can really isolate you from people around you. Just in my own life I can see how painful it has been for people to watch me change and really turn myself inside out for inspection and improvement. I can feel how uncomfortable they are now and I am almost self conscious about speaking to anyone about meaningful things because I am concerned I come across haughty even though I police this heavily and am very aware of what’s in my heart.
I guess I am just worried that it may happen to many of us that we become less effective and moral humans in pursuit of being more effective and moral humans. Does that make sense?
