Introspection is something I seem to be pretty good at. As my mentor person puts it, I was given eyes to see.
It’s not something I’ve been doing a whole lot of lately, though. Normally, this would worry me. Lack of introspection usually indicates that I’m avoiding an issue that needs to be addressed.
Not this time, though. At least, I don’t think that’s the case.
I just know so many people who are going through worse situations than I am. It makes me feel guilty about thinking about my own problems.

I wonder if this is part of what it means to love your neighbor as yourself–placing less attention on yourself and more on others. Or rather, placing as much attention on others as yourself.
Hm…
