Honest Self-Criticism

Honest Self-Criticism

Spirituality


I know that honest self-criticism seems almost unheard of among writers at RHP

This opening sentence to an OP written by a very poorly behaved and seemingly incorrigibly sociopathic poster on a different forum made me laugh out loud for its irony and hypocrisy, but that isn't the point here.

Does honest self-criticism have a spiritual dimension? Can honest self-criticism modify or steer one's spiritual outlook?

Thank you for contributing to the thread. Does honest self-criticism have a spiritual or moral or ethical dimension for you, what you say, and how you behave?

I would say honest/frank/realistic self-criticism has played its biggest role in how I have monitored and adapted the raising of my two sons over the last two decades, both in terms of being sensitive to their changing needs as they grew and in terms of how my attitudes may have changed over the same period. Honest self-criticism is a force for good that does no harm.

Well, the original context is here Thread 189374 and the Debates Forum and your behaviour there, provides a broader context. However, I have put the notion of "honest self-criticism" in a new context here: spirituality, morality, ethics.

The stuff about the role of honest self-criticism in raising my children was not addressed to you.

If you are suggesting that white supremacists and racist ought to do some honest self-criticism, then we agree.

I have no knowledge of and no interest in your uncorroborated claims that you shat your pants.
