All of us wrestle in the darkness
against a variety of
selves: (1) the old
self which shames us and still seeks to control us; (2) the sensitive
self that is quick to feel slight and rejection; (3) the compromising
self that says, «I am going to get along with things as they are»; (4) the anxious
self that
dreads insecurity — loss of health, job, family.
