Many people are so unkind to themselves it seems to me. They beat themselves until they feel like they have given enough…and yet they never feel like they have. They become stressed and ill, and yet they continue to do the same under the impression that they are doing some great service to humanity, and exhibiting great virtue. Whilst in fact, all the while they are killing themselves, destroying the very thing that is their greatest treasure. Betraying themselves for nothing. This even appears to be the case for those who have very little in their external circumstances that is challenging (in a global sense). This surely is the very definition of tragedy.
