Some of us live our own lives with lot of pride, some with shame others with fears. All three seem pathological in nature. Pride being egocentric take beautiful things away from us, leaving behind pseudo self to work with. Shame is something inborn or may be it is about the mistakes we made in past. Although we are physically living in the present, our emotions and actions drag us in past and we live with our shallow self. Living with fears is about being shaky, doubtful and uncertain. Apprehensions take precedence our emotions,decisions and actions and we like to live with dependent self.
Having pride, shame or fear is not that inflammable as ignoring them. Only after accepting our weaknesses we can definitely find the remedy.
