The consciousness could be compared to an onion

Question: No matter what I do I always have the feeling

that I could have done better.

What's going on?

Answer: The consciousness could be compared to an onion:

layer upon layer upon layer. You peel off one layer of

experience and you discover another layer. So you may

sometimes find that the way you handled something, in what

seemed to be the best you could do at a given time, in

retrospect seems inadequate - because you have grown and

discovered another layer within yourself that allows for a

better solution. That feeling of "I could have done better"

really points up your growth. You can view that as a

positive step, not as a discouragement. Just keep moving.

As long as you are still present on this earth, you will

keep discovering more and more layers to work through -
