Excellent passage. Yes, this is how we should all be thinking; constantly meditating, constantly reflecting. The line between miri and piri is a thin one, indeed...and it must be walked with the greatest of care and the utmost scrutiny.

Questioning oneself is the hardest thing to do. But like all the most difficult endeavours in life, its rewards are the greatest.
