> You have an obligation to the past self trapped inside your mind who is alone and afraid and hurting. To respect their dignity and reconcile differences, instead of locking them away or excising them for malignance.

this is true, people are good + bad. The problem is that you actually have to integrate the bad part into your understanding of self. You have to *become* good + bad simultaneously. A paradox. You can't keep yourself pretty and clean, locking your inner monster away in a dungeon.
