Re: What is something you have heard or read that completely changed your outlook

[personal profile] skeletal_history 2016-10-22 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
I was 19 and a devout Catholic and went to confession one day, and the priest said something to me that changed my life. He said that rather than divide sins into mortal and venial, sins could be divided into sins of weakness and sins of malice. Sins of weakness come out of our own fallible, animal natures, and should be handled with patience and sympathy. Sins of malice, on the other hand, come from the Devil, are truly evil, and should be despised and shunned. And what I had been talking about were sins of weakness.

This completely turned my head around. I was living with impossibly high standards for myself, hating myself for not living up to them and hating everyone else for not living up to them, either. Reframing these failures as something to have patience and sympathy with helped me to be so much kinder to myself, which in turn helped me be so much kinder and more forgiving to everyone else I was so critical of. It took such a huge weight off my shoulders.
