The Truth

You know when someone says something and you just connect with it. Well, recently someone said that in western cultures we are filled with a self-loathing which holds us back from achieving our potential. This has stuck in my mind now for about a month. It goes on that this self-loathing is usually reflected as selfishness and cruel intentions towards others.

I recognise this in myself but worse to my mind is that I think I recognise it in others. However, I'm not at all sure. It seems a terrible accusation to lay upon someone. It's desparately unsettling too: what if it's true?
