Re: [BardonPraxis] About positive and negative traits

["Rawn Clark" <rawnclark@...>]

Dear Dan,

>> What I´m trying to share with you all is my doubt about how can I
correctly
define some personality trait as negative or positive ones. I´ve tried
to meditate about that subject, but seems to me that i´m walking in
circles. I´d appreciate any help about that. <<

The defining of one's own character traits as either positive or
negative is not an *intellectual* process of weighing factors, etc.
What it is based upon is how*you* feel about *your own* behaviour. It
is positive or negative for *you* -- that's always the question, not
whether its positive or negative culturally, socially or situationally,
but how *you* feel about *yourself* when *you* are manifesting the
trait. That knowledge or self-awareness comes from the inner voice of
your own conscience, not from external valuations.

My best to you,
:) Rawn Clark
