“I can only think seriously of trying to live up to an ideal, to improve myself, if I am split in two pieces. There must be a good “I” who is going to improve the bad “me.” “I,” who has the best intentions, will go to work on wayward “me,” and the tussle between the two will very much stress the difference between them. Consequently “I” will feel more separate than ever, and so merely increase the lonely and cut-off feelings which make “me” behave so badly.” IfsThinkingFeelsTryingI CanTwoFeelingsDifferencesPiecesCuttingIdealsLonelyIncreaseStressIntentionBehaveSplitsProve MyselfBest Intentions Author:Alan Watts
