hy·poc·ri·sy
n. pl. hy·poc·ri·sies
- The practice of professing beliefs, feelings, or virtues that one does not hold or possess; falseness.
- An act or instance of such falseness.
I have lots of philosophies, ideas and concepts that I strive to follow. I came up with the idea of making my own after reading
Ben Franklins 13 virtues in summerschool of '92. I am still working on my book (do not hold your breath) but meanwhile, I keep coming up with changes to my concepts that improve them and re-applying them to my life.
However, I am not perfect. I mess them up *all* the time. I still have not even written them all down in my head. (new goal).
When I fail one or more of my goals I need help regaining focus and not losing my self esteem. It seems that what has started happening, is that I get stomped on and mocked. I have not chosen friends wisely lately. I think most of them are out of my life or on the way out.
The Tao discusses how "the sage" is to react to being mocked and ridiculed: he is to remain quiet. That is so difficult for somebody with a big a mouth as mine is, but it is on my list of things to change.
To the rest, those that have lent me a hand, picked me up and said, "keep trying", Thank You. Your patience and understanding of me has brought me back, one crumpled piece at a time.
Onward and upward. There is no spoon.
