First we have tea!

Honesty with oneself

Honesty.....Do we? Are we? To ourselves as well as others? I don't know about you, but honesty is something that is hard to do every moment of the day. I am a great self- analyst and spend a lot of time trying to figure out my motives for things. Am I honest with myself first of all? I think that may be the hardest one of all. Why am I doing a particular thing? For myself or others? The honesty part might say, "I am doing this for myself", while I might deceive myself into thinking it is for others.
I have the feeling that the basic motivation of mankind is selfish :)  We want something out of the bargin. I do, mostly. Sacrifice is something I don't do well or joyfully. I WANT TO! But, there is the honesty thing again....I DON'T often have the joy of it. It is easy to give when it is fun (fun always has a bit of 'self' to it, doesn't it?), but not easy when it involves sacrifice- something we DON'T want to do.
Just pondering.............

I just put two and two together - you are mommabear. I got your comment on my games blog and I also just replied to your email. Thank you, we have never played Sorry we'll have to try it.
I was trying to search for you under First we have Tea, but now have found you under mommabear. Now I will try to figure out how to put you on my friends list.
