ktowhata Iāve been reading various books on āself-assuranceā and basically it introduces a device to affirm oneself. I have been reading a lot of books on āself-assuranceā. However, since self-assurance becomes a problem when attacks on oneself intensify, it seems to me that what is really important is not to strengthen self-assurance, but to [soften [self-denial].
ktowhata The voice of self-denial is hard to refute because the logic is simple and robust. So it is the voices of others that are helpful. The fact that others are surprisingly indifferent and not harsh reduces the concentration of self-denial like water in a chaser. In this sense, the self-affirming bookās self-help devices need to be supplemented with devices that are good for others to do for you.
