Sadly that inner authoritarian is most often directed at ourselves. Perhaps if we concentrate our acceptance first at others' perfection despite flaws, our own self-empathy will increase.

Doing your inner work makes the world a better place. Pray for guidance #prayforpeace too.

Amen......Marianne....I am struggling with this in my life at the time and I use your prayers to help me get through the illusion of attack that I am feeling. Bless you. Maggie @mggstone

Be peaceful with yourself and others
