Rather than being taught to accept ourselves, we were trained to make ourselves socially acceptable. And whenever we fail, we suffer inside.
In the end, trying to be perfect is the unconscious social effort to please ourselves by pleasing these others.

Say to yourself: Living essentially to please others is a monumental mistake.
