Do I have to love myself? |
| |
Yes! People who don't like themselves are pain in the neck!
Many people are uncomfortable with the idea of "loving themselves". At the same time, they expect their partners to lvoe them! Isn't that a little odd? To say: " I couldnt possibly love myself", and then get angry with my partner when she doesnt love me? Obviously, to have a healthy relationship, we have to love / like ourselves.
We cant give anyone else something that we dont have. We can never accept other people as they are until we accept ourselves as we are. When we are mesmerised by our own faults, we look for the same faults in ohter people and hope it will make us feel better. And we find them, but we dont feel better.
While we concentrate on our own faults, the world will keep punishing us, and we will keep punishing ourselves. We do it with ill health, with poverty, with loneliness. As long as we dont like ourself, the world wont like us. And then we blame the world. |
