2. Here is an excerpt by the Buddhist Nun Pema Chodron

from her book: The Wisdom of No Escape: and the path of Loving-kindness: http://www.shambhala.com/pc/html/stwhyo-ex.cfm/

If you like it at all here is a link that will provide other free excerpts from her work: http://www.shambhala.com/pc/index.cfm/

I find the idea of looking at one-self with non-aggression to be quite profound. It is true in my life that when ever I want to change that impetus is based on aggressive self-judgment as opposed to self love--I am still learning to just observe myself with kindness, so am not good at explaining. Best Wishes
