How ruthless can you be with yourself?

“How ruthless can you be with yourself? How can you refuse the little catnaps that the devil has prepared for you? Take defending yourself. Even if the accusation is true, why are we so quick to explain, ‘Here’s why I did that.’ Why don’t you be quiet so you can see this false part of you wanting to defend yourself and give no explanation at all? You are tied to people with your own defenses.”

Vernon Howard, A Treasury of Trueness, # 1498
