starting to think that a big reason i feel shame and self pity sometimes, especially surrounding food, is a feeling of scorn towards others.

if i cant be kind and accepting towards others that i view as having a lower nature or lower level of consciousness, i cant be kind to myself and my lower nature. cuz we all have a shadow/lower nature. and cant transcend it by trying to suppress it or thinking negatively of it.

two spritual truths i just learned:
1) what you fight you only make stronger
2) what you do unto others you do unto yourself.

if i scorn people and feel superior when i see them eat "bad" foods, im only doing it to myself because im training myself to talk that way to my lower nature(when i eventually give in on a craving). and when i do that, im fighting my lower nature and only make it stronger, make cravings for bad food stronger. cycle gets stronger, food addiction becomes more harmful and consuming.
