Just because you make a mistake does... - self-compassion

Just because you make a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake. ~ Georgette Mosbacher

Meditation: greet the dark thoughts....laughing

The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. ~ Rumi

Shame as Manifestation of Greed, Hatred and Ignorance

Wondering if the feeling of shame is a manifestation of greed, hatred and ignorance.  Thinking of the article about Loving the Enemy,  of how the true enemy is within, not outside.


Felt Shame is a kind of self-directed anger?  The anger that I feel towards myself is another way of directing anger outward (except it is inward).


Something is not quite clear here.
