I am kind of desperate that I will never learn anything practical… everything is too vague and unattainable for me. Like a long, long prelude…
Thanks Seth, and I did that, first because it was urge from within, then to test the first outcome. It turns out when I do all to fulfill the needs of the people around me, they are all happy, but my whole life collapses! One always shows up to destroy everything in my life, take everything, leave me in the mud, and I’ve started from minus too many times in this life. And in the latest episode, that role fell on my parents and sister… So, until I learn what I do wrong, and how to do it right, sorry, I will have to skip this exercise…
My problem is that I am not convinced that we, the people, know at all what “love yourself” means at all! What does it mean to love yourself? If we are a will to receive only, how in the hell do we know what loving oneself means!?
My conclusion is that for most people love means indulgence; if you don’t indulge me you don’t love me; I love myself, so I indulge myself; I love you, please let me indulge you… so, I have no idea what loving oneself means, let alone loving others… I do feel empathy for others, never for myself, but I don’t think that constitutes as love.
Aren’t we suppose to learn first what love means, than what loving oneself means, and only then loving the neighbor?
Thanks!
