Читать книгу Positive Thinking: Everything you have always known about positive thinking but were afraid to put into practice - Vera Peiffer, Vera Peiffer - Страница 24

The Mouse is helpful, considerate and a great comfort to people in need. The Mouse usually has a lot of compassion for others (which, however, is not the same thing as insight), and shows untiring support for those who are ill or disadvantaged in any way. Little old ladies refer to the Mouse as an ‘angel’.

With people needing help the Mouse feels safe and develops skills that come as a pleasant surprise to herself and others. As these points are advantageous to others, they are usually promoted as desirable.

It has to be emphasised, though, that if helpful behaviour is carried out in a self-effacing way, without considering one’s own health or well-being, then it ceases to be positive and starts to become self-destructive.
