Self Deception
Our main difficulty is that we don't even share things with ourself---self deception. That is what you call self deception, when you are not truthful to yourself.
Anger is About the Past
Anger is meaningless, because it is always about something that has already passed.
Compliments and Insults
See the nature of mind: if there are ten good qualities and one negative, the mind clings on to that one negative. Ten compliments and one insult, the mind will forget all the ten compliments. It hangs on to the one insult and goes on and on and on about it.
Pulled in Two Directions
Being human is like being on a bridge, in between. On one side there is the pull of the Divine qualities, on the other side there is the pull of animalistic ualities.That' s why there is more conflict in humans than anywhere else.
