Produktbeschreibung

Imagine a little boy seeing the world as special - an internal picture ofperfection revolving around the image of his own self - a pulsating star, at centerstage. Then, he sees that he does not match what his self-image symbolizes, thealpha-male personality of both his father and grandfather. They are aggressivelydomineering, hugely successful at making money, and seem to have sexually satisfiedboth his mother and grandmother. But the boy realizes that he is his mother, with anidentical facial appearance, gait and sensitivity. And this divergence from a maleideal of invulnerability is felt by him as shame. Beginning with that real-lifestory, A Compromised Compassion describes the deeply hidden shame revealed. A briefnarrative of that life is followed by a collection of original quotes, poems andshort essays. This is a tale of social fear and anxiety, and the internal walls ofself-protection that became self-isolation. Habitual patterns of thought andbehavior, along with rigid images of self and others were the bricks of the wall.Judgments were made and expectations established, involving failure versus success,and shame versus fame. Feelings of empathy, remorse and compassion were cut off. Theinternal obstacles were self-constructed. Those obstacles are common to most of us,and involve the emotional memories we become so attached to, the distorted idealvisions of our own self and others, and our dependence upon external forces tosecure our trust. One way out involves a movement of trust within, leading toindividual integrity, while at the same time remaining empathetic and compassionate.Once this is accomplished, then the walls come tumbling down, allowing our mind thefreedom to wander where it will, and allowing our compassion the freedom to touchall of humanity. These words might help you find that freedom.
