life - a mystery...

life is the entire canvas with nothing excluded....our condemnations, judgements, guilt,embarassment etc make us block certain expressions as we perceive them as being right or wrong in the context of perceptions we have accumalated.The hues and colors of life are a given in the universal mind.

By rejecting some and accepting some, we are limiting ourselves.

Acceptance helps us to respond; rejection enforces suppresion of "perceived non-desirables".

our "perceived desirables" on personality content are more often than not dictated by "fears of peer rejection" , social alienation and so on.

In my opinion, social interaction necessitates the wearing of a few masks sometimes.Due to collective aspects of judgements and so on.

However, the danger is in our trying to beleive that we are something we are not. Not many of us maturely discriminate between our projections and our reality.

And that does not help us ; "integrity" and "acceptance" are critical keys to growth.
