TOM-TOM you are too self-critical.Try to stop beating yourself up.I think I can understand where you are coming from-up to a point.All humans are fallible-whether they exist or not!-I used as a child to be very conscious of how people reacted to me-how they looked at me how they judged me-this could have inculcated a guilt complex-But as you grow up you have to get tough.Humans can use guilt as a weapon against other humans-this is especially so in personal relationships.I don't recognise the word "guilt" in the OED.To me it doesn't exist.You have to be tough and "airbrush" humans who cause you grief with no justification.Another truism is that a person comes into the World alone,spends much of their time on earth alone and then goes out alone.Buddy come on to the "Wine Haven" and lets' get thoroughly "molo".HessianWarrior is about to start his act.We mustn't miss that.Laughing

So the thing is Carla that sometimes you can't please everyone you know. That's what I'm talking about.

Sometimes everyone you know has a different need and what you do conflicts with the needs of them all and you too.

Can't please everyone, so you gotta please yourself...

I don't know Witmag. I like your view. I suppose what I would say is ultimately we are answerable to ourselves and sometimes I'm struggling with who I am. As you say whether I exist or not.
Avatar of Tomtalk
Hmm. The thing is Carla if I please myself I can't please everyone. The thing is I want to!

Okay Kay.
Avatar of Tomtalk
I suppose though Carla you have to do what you are comfortable with don't you. It's just sometimes doing the right thing is tough. Painful. For you and others.
