So you haven’t taken an axe to a horrible person, or maybe stabbed someone for the fun of it? That’s really good.
You haven’t decided to drink and drive and caused an accident? That too is good.
Joined a gang, grabbed a machete, and attacked someone because they disrespected you? Or to prove your ‘worth’? Wouldn’t dream of it? I thought not.
Nor have you abused a partner verbally or physically? Awesome.
Beaten your kids up or abused them? No? Excellent.
Abused an animal? Not that either. Things are looking really good here.
Insulted someone for their race, colour, gender, or creed? Just why? You’re thinking. We’re on the same page.
Have you deliberately and consciously chosen words to hurt someone? To do the maximum emotional damage? Again no? Better and better.
Lied? Cheated? Stolen? Nope? Superb.
Subtly suggested to an employee that their job isn’t safe in a way that they can’t say you said it, but so that they can try harder and harder, work longer hours? You hate those bosses? Me too.
This ridiculous sounding list
Was written to remind you that if you’ve said no to all these things and anything else that comes to mind of a similar nature:
You’re doing really well in this world, keep being who you are, you’re very much needed.
Now dismiss the people telling you you’re not good enough. We’re all human, but you’re a good version.
With love
