Ideally, we never really "answer" the question, Rhett. The answers change all the time depending on where we are in our growth. The point is that we use this moments answers to identify areas where growth is needed.

Ruth, being Catholic, I too am very familiar with the "examination of conscience". I think most people, including a majority of Catholics, think of this examination as only a preparatory exercise for the sacrament of "Reconciliation". Consequently it is only often associated with tallying up what your "sins" are rather than a positive experience in self examination for the purpose of self reflection and improving oneself.

 


So true, Diana.  It's a pity really, because I think the orignal intent is self-reflection and self-improvement.  It's unfortunate that it's only been communicated as examination of "sin" in such a negative context.  That's where we who understand have to allow ourselves to put the correct spin on it.
