That went deep, quickly. I absolutely agree we all have good and bad, black and white or whatever you call it tendencies inside. Whenever we ignore our dark part, it acts unseen, unchecked.

By accepting that we're just human, just animals, we have desires, we can at least - I don't really have good words for this - at least feel and take care in the harm we can't or don't want to avoid to do.

Yeah sorry about my armchair philosophizing on this lovely Sunday evening or morning depending on where in the world you are right now.

I think the most frustrating thing about attempting to live by this balanced philosophy is that nothing is ever balanced for long. As a perfectionist, this is probably gonna be the most challenging lesson in my life, personally, but at the same time, it does keep life interesting.
