You are your own worst critic

You are your own worst critic
Once you let others assume that role
Once you assume that role about others
You are not being truthful to yourself
GO ahead take a harder look at yourself
You can now rid yourself of your impurities

You are your own worst critic, keep it that way

I agree with you. Our ego can consume us and be detrimental to others. One must relinquish pride, ego, and other such negative foundations. In reality. we're all 'earths'. For you may see that the world is inhospitable, but without such world you could not even exist. You carry a microbiome and you should be able to relate that towards your 'perceived' reality. Cycles within cycles. For all is 1.

As a painter and musician, I am all to familiar with this fact. Outside of these topics, I am almost completely uncritical of myself and others. We are all imperfect beings.

Surely this is a discussion where no one opposing opinion can be right.

People when borne are told they are guilty of original sin. So they are guilty before they learn to talk, walk use the toilet etc so - they are sinners, the lowest of the low, accordingf to the pious.

When someone gets over the cowed sinner psyche and develops their own ideas and values, then they can be accused of pride, another sin. So with an ego one also has sinned - can you win - did anyone think Christ deciding to teach must have had an ego in order to tell people what was right and wrong.. He couldnt win either on this level of judgement.

Life is all about the reason for the prodigal son, one starts with the father, learns about life and goes it alone and then returns to the father. If we weren't created to experience exactly that, what were we created for?

The op rings very true. I would say that as far as being sinners at birth it could revolve around what we had for dinner. Perhaps it is the food we eat that is a sin.
