BEING HUMAN
We are imperfect, human. To learn, we make mistakes and suffer consequences. This is true for all of us, everywhee.
So when we do very human things, it helps if we do not punish ourselves but accept our humanness. We need not judge ourselves as others might, but only as God might judge us, with complete acceptance.
Am I learning to accept my humanness?

I still catch myself sometimes beating myself up when i screw up.
I also feel that in accepting my humanness that i cant use that to act like a complete idiot when i want to. Its not a license to act however i want.
