Other people are critical of all that they have the opportunity to enjoy; believing that it should more closely conform to their own conceptions of the ways things should be --- compared to the imperfections that they perceive in what is present. They enjoy very little ---because they are too busy being critical. They seek to perfect everything --- before they will enjoy anything. They seek to control, rather than to participate in relationships which are open, honest and responsive in reflexive new ways. (c) 2005 by Paul A. Smith in (On Being Yourself, Whole and Healthy) ==========================================================
