What a dumb question.
Let's go on to the second question.
Is it absolutely true?
Now, it sounds like the first question, but there's a little twist in it.
Is it absolutely true?
100% of the time, there are no exceptions.
That must be the only possible interpretation.
Well, I didn't have perfect certainty.
It wasn't a fact.
It was a belief.
So there may be.
I don't know what the other reason might be, but maybe there's another alternative explanation to how my mom was behaving.
Maybe she wasn't being judgmental and hard to please.
Third question.
Who am I when I hold on to that belief?
So when I believe my mother is too judgmental and hard to please, I'm short-tempered.
I become this 13-year-old version of myself.
I'm not really very nice.
Okay, fourth question.
Who would I be without that belief?
