I was raised by a loving mother and father, who taught me how be loving and also humble, which humlity is not taught too much these days. I think parents should teach their kids the importance of humility and balancing it with showing loving to their child. Great article, Shari.

Thanks, Will. Hopefully they taught you that it’s okay to embrace your darker personality aspects as well, and not guilt or shame yourself for feeling or expressing ‘em..

Absolutely! I think as kids some of us pick those dark traits from our parents.

We are all lightness and darkness, as I see it. The trick in life in my view, is coming to accept and embrace ALL dimensions of the Self, and being at peace with who we are as multi-faceted (light, dark and everything in-between) beings. :~)
