I wonder if some of it is that it is just hard to think of or be comfortable with A & B existing together though, so the tendency is to fall more toward A or B....when the answer is maybe AB, as well as C D E.....because it's probably nothing so simple as just A or B.
I guess though if A is good things about me, then yes I find it hard to really relax into believing those because I don't want to be too proud, and then have someone bring me down flat by pointing out B.....pretty much because this has happened! I get to thinking, maybe I AM smart, or have a bit of wisdom, but then somebody points out some errors in my thinking/actions/character....and I'm like, oh >
how stupid, foolish, bad am I, not as good I thought!
So mostly in my mind though it goes something like this, maybe a bit of A, no more B, no there really is A there, no it's all B >>>>
Sorry, though - I think I'm way off track from where your thoughts were when you started this thread, sawe!
