All human beings have failings, all human beings have needs and temptations and stresses.
No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and in all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably with the circumstances of life, knowing that in this world no one is all knowing and therefore all of us need both love and charity. When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die. Somehow we learn who we really are and then live with that decision. Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else.
