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?
@fmf saidI 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.

The post that was quoted here has been removedWell, 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.
