"You unwittingly chose a time-honoured metaphor with your diamond comparison." Well, damn, and here I thought I had a shiny new thought. ;D
"not to expect too much of others" Yeah, that would probably be wiser. But I digress very easily into not thinking too well of others. ;) Another narrow ridge to walk upon.
And about an "ideal self": You're right, really defining one would be like finding out who one truly is. Virtually impossible. It's a very shady figure, such an ideal, more like a feeling, perhaps. I don't need people to define their ideals, not really. But one can search for them and try to reach those aspects they already figured out. Anyway, you're totally right, used an absolute term without further explanation of my use of it. My bad. :D
