>How do you not hate others for being alive >(figuratively speaking), active, well?
Everybody has a dark secret. It is naive to assume others are as well as they seem.
>How do you not hate yourself for failing to live >up to your standards?
I'm always doing the best I can. I guess I have no standards.
>How do you not blame yourself for everything >that's been lost?
Loss is a part of life. How can I blame myself for natural law?
>How do you learn to forgive yourself?
Do I need to forgive myself?
>How do you maintain your dignity without falling >into either isolation and bitterness or >dependency on others?
It all depends on how you want to see yourself.
