Blog 3 - 2Q’s, Action, Self-love
In blog 2, I reasoned why I must ask myself 2 questions (I’ll unlock the third later one), and use them to judge people’s actions and perspectives, as well as ideas, concepts and values. Even those I find in anime, series and the media.
It’s not enough to simply answer the questions. I must also act. However, if I don’t matter to me, if I don’t love myself, there’s no reason to act. The questions are, after all: 1. What is good for me? 2. What do I need?
I don’t believe in self-love. Or rather, it might work for others. But for me, I can’t say I love myself. In short, that premise won’t work for me.
However, I 100% believe in “self-preservation”. I’d choose to live every single time. If I can choose between a life of anguish or the nothingness of death, I’d choose to live. When I no longer live, that’s all she wrote. I will be no more. There’s nothing more to life than living. When we don’t, we are not.
I’d argue that being judgmental through answering the 2Q’s then taking action is in line with self-preservation. I wouldn’t do this out of self love. But I would do this in order to live. And so I will.
