Question

"HUMAN TARGETS

Philip spoke up in the group. 'Sometimes I feel like a target
struck by society's arrows. Piercing words and events strike
throughout the day. I suspect self-centeredness here. Your
explanation would be appreciated.'

'There is just one way to get over feeling like a target. You must
stop being an arrow. Target and arrow always go together, and both
exist within you. When you insist upon shooting your arrow you also
insist upon being a target. See this in small ways at first. If you
shoot an arrow of hostility towards another person, you become the
target for his returned hostility. Self-shocking honesty is
required.
A dishonest man always thinks he is the innocent target, never
seeing
how he makes targets of other people.'"
